Help me build a barbarian

Start with Combat Reflexes and Dodge. The relatively high Int is to go to Int 13 at level 4 and do the whole Expertise (very defensive) thing moving towards Spring Attack (good with Barb movement) and eventually Whirlwind.

Not good, since when raging you can't use expertise. Barbarians have a tough time being defensive, but do offense well. Power attack is a must with the new rules for two handed weapons. Weapon focus will help offset the Power attack penalty and would make a good second feat.

If you go for a heavy twohanded warhammer, take Power Attack and Cleave. The Spring attacking barbarian is well adviced to take a Greatspear (CW) and pick up some fighter levels later (4 are enough).
