Dwarven berserkers are pretty much an oxymoron -- it's an image I've never understood, at least as "normal" or in D&D. Dwarves are LAWFUL, as a race. They have a tendancy toward stability, self-control, and even-temperedness; which is pretty antithetical to berserking. If anything, Barbarian should be a restricted class to dwarves (automatic -20% XP?).
The inverse is true about elven paladins, which is also an odd notion.

Mysterically, there are no great outcries about them...
