Left Click - Frenzy Rune - Sidearm
Crazy good ability that stacks with LOH (Life on hit) as you attack faster, and the axes also proc the LOH (Not sure if this is meant to happen, might be patched later on) One of the 3 must have spells (The others being Revenge and War Cry)
Right Click - Leap Rune - Iron Impact
I use this ability to "engage" mobs. Adds 300% armour which drops incoming melee damage by upto about 97% (Highest i've seen) So you dont have to rely much on cooldowns for 4seconds.
Skill 1 - Ignore Pain Rune - Ignorance Is Bliss
The "oh shit" button. Rune is just preference, i know a few barbs who run with the extended time rune, but i just prefer to have a bit more healing.
Skill 2 -Revenge Rune - Provocation
One of the 3 required spells for the barb in Inferno, the others being (Frenzy and War Cry), used in conjunction with the increased chance to proc rune. Must have spell
Skill 3 - War Cry Rune - Impunity
Adds armour and resistances. No brainer really. One of the 3 must have spells for Inferno
Skill 4 - Wrath of the Beserker Rune - Insanity
My single target spell. Also used when getting into an oh shit moment and you require a bit more damage output with revenge. Adds damage with the rune.
Passives -
Nerves Of Steel - Adds 100% armour equal to your vitality, which is one of the stats you should be stacking, so you can easily add 1k armour for nothing.
Tough As Nails - Adds 25% armour and 50% thorns damage. Since you are usually tanking mobs, and taking direct damage, the more armour the better (Can add around 2k armour) and the thorns is a nice bonus.
Superstition - Reduces all non physical damage by 20%. Those pesky birds that shoot fireballs at you for 15k? Just got reduced by 3k damage, and theres also a small chance of gaining rage on every ranged or elemental attack (pointless for attacks from melee, you gain rage just for attacking them anyway)
For armour pieces, finding items with Strength, Vitality and +All resistance is what you're looking for. Also, a few armour items (Amulet, belt and rings? can also roll LOH (Life on hit) which is almost a necessity for Inferno. It scales much better then damage converted to life.
For weapons, you want a 1000+dps weapon, with strength, vit, LOH and a socket. Now obviously you'll have too get godly rolls too achieve this, so you can easily get by with 800+ dps weapon, with 100+ strength and a socket (Add a Radiant Start Amethyst for LOH).
All Resistance > Vitality > Strength > Life on Hit
