Hey, there is an optimal gear layout for a barbarian here: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/463146-Most-optimal-gear-loadout

Most of your gear will do though, but you'll want to just keep highest str/con/PRR/MRR/False Life/Saves items otherwise.

Going BF is counter intuitive on a barbarian these days imo, and I'm sure many will agree because your healing from blood strength is positive energy. AP is super tight on a barbarian if you're going to optimize for survivability and DPS, which is 37 AP in ravager for core 5/Crit rage/Blood Strength/Laughter/1 AP at the end of Cruel Cut line for that 5 melee power and 41 points in Ravager Capstone (+25 damage and 5% to do 500 (typically hits for 1300+ when built right and hits often)/Blood Strength (+4 strength, 4d6x100% melee power, 1 crit multiplier)/Crackling Attack Line (1-3 Weapon Die and 3-9 Melee power depending on doublestrike)/barb cleave. Don't worry about wasting 3 AP to waive the HP requirement. With Blood Strength there's no reason. You'll typically heal around min 150 health per kill in epics.

Anyway that leaves you 2 AP, which is either 20% damage boost if human or 25% increased rage time. I just TR'd out of my barb to try fighter one more time, but in epics I can hit 3-3:30 plus minutes of rage time and have 12 rage cast. Human/PDK is most optimal, but it's however you want to have fun in your time.

Many nasty things can be avoided now of days.

Be careful, converting a BF into pure Barbarian requires (due to the inherent Paladin level) a LOT of spent Turbine Points, for questionable results as described above.
