WW barb, what am i doing wrong?

[tbone]

I have a WW barb that I think has some pretty decent gear but I am just getting smashed in act 3. Currently I'm dying about 8-12 times an hour. Even though I'm dying a lot, I'm still farming about double the amount of 63 rares that I was farming as Frenzy/rend. If I could figure out how to tweak my barb to die 1-2 times and hour I can only imagine how much more efficient he would be. One thing I have noticed is he usually dies while building rage to WW.

Here are my stats
78k dps unbuffed / 93.5k w/BR / 135k w/WotB
784AR w/WC
1704 Str
51k HP
6100 Armor
20% dodge
8.5% LS
43% crit
417% cit dmg

Build
Bash/Pulverize
WW/Hurricane
Battle Rage/Into the Fray
Spring/Run Like the Wind
Wrath of the Berserker/Thrive on Chaos
War Cry/Impunity

Superstition/Ruthless/Weapons Master

A little more item collecting stats
Total items dropped: 1875 [534.11 per hour]
- ilvl63: 258 [73.25 per hour] {13.64 %}
--- ilvl 63 Rare: 28 [7.95 per hour] {1.48 %}
This is from a 3.5 hour sample but is pretty typical of what I'm seeing

Thanks for any tips.

Try to change ur passive to defensive skill. Thought as nail and another one convert vilarity to Armour.
780ar is fine if u play manually but not high enough for bot. I just build one last night with 980-1178 resistance after buff. It dieS 4 to 8 times per hr. I have 1589LOH and no life leach.

In the same boat as you OP.. about 90k DPS with Battle Rage - Marauder's Rage, I normally run Rend/Revenge and my bot has no problems at all but as soon as I try to use a WW build he dies much more often. I've watched him and it just seems like WW is unreliable with bots but maybe it's just me.

First what plugins are you using?
Second if your using Giles Trinity your barb will run much smoother with little to no avoidance on WW build. I only have molten core, plague hands, and ice cluster active. Everything else you should be moving out of naturally. The problem with it on is your barb will often stop WWing in tight spaces in which case he stops making tornadoes and in turn stops leeching. This entire build is based on how much life you can suck out of the enemy.
Also is that 6100 armor with warcry? you need at least 7500 to survive heavy melee attacks long enough to get your 'nados started.
On top of that you can try and grab the 2 IK set pieces that have reduced melee dmg (helm and gloves ). You'll also get the nice 60 res all bonus and if you go for three (belt for LS recommended) even more dmg reduction.
Off to work but ill check your answers to the top questions when i get home. GL hope this helped!

I am using trinity but with the default avoidances. I'll try with your suggestions and look at getting the IK gear.
