Suggestions for a friend. Feel free to critique.

A friend of mine asked for some advice on Barb builds, and this is what I came up with. I'm currently working on my first barb, however, so I'm sure there are some intricacies that I'm missing. I already referred him to Shade's build, but he already has 1 lvl of fighter, and probably doesn't want to reroll/resurrect at this stage. I've also included the build that I'm currently working on, just for kicks. That being said, here goes:

Thanks in advance for all of your comments/suggestions!

Quick and dirty version.

Pure Barbarian:

Max CON and STR
1. THF
3. PA
6. Cleave
9. IC: Slashing
12. ITHF
15. Stunning Blow
18. GTHF

Take all Hardy & Power Rage, as well as all Frenzied Berserker enhancements. WF Con & Barbarian Enhancements. Get all Barb Power Attack, Damage Boosts (as per FB requirements). And finally all the Tactics enhancements that you can. Take an extra rage and extended rage as well. Healer's Friend is nice too. That should take care of your enhancements.

For 2/18 Barbarian, just add the toughness feat somewhere you want. Doesn't really matter where. Personally, I don't think Barbarians need toughness, as they have plenty of opportunities to have high hp without getting it.
