These will be MY recommendations. I personally have not truly PvP'd in 1.10 beyond users in my Friends List, but here goes...
(Any switches recommended will be explained after the list. Also, all recommendations are assuming you will be fighting other Barbs.)
Weapon: Your weapon should be fine. It is at it's fastest IAS breakpoint for Whirlwind, and great damage. You're good.
Helm: Arreats is still good, however, I wouldn't have a Cham in it. Switch out for a 40% ED/+20 life jewel.
Shield: Stormshield, without a doubt, ditch Ber, and once again, 40/20 it.
Armor: Enigma. +2 skills, more defense, good r/w, teleport, increase life by 5%, and +STR on char level (Each point of STR is 1% ED). Awesome armor.
Belt: Perfect Verdungo's Hearty Cord. 15% DR, +40 VIT. Good stuff.
Gloves: DRACUL'S GRASP. This is the only way you will leech life at a rate to be useful in PvP. Good ol' Life Tap.
Boots: Toss up between War Travs or Gore Riders. I'd go Gore Riders, now that the damage from Travs no longer calculated before +ED% and Critical Strike is no longer bugged at 100%.
Amulet: Likely Highlord's. +1 skills and Decent Deadly Strike.
Ring1: Bul Kathos' Wedding Band. % really doesn't matter anymore.
Ring2: Raven Frost. Cannot be frozen, good +Attack Rating, and +DEX for even more attack rating and defense. Plus, it adds some mana, which will be very useful since mana leech is virtually nonexistant in PvP.
Keep your 3/20/20's, and see if you can add some life/mana charms to it, and maybe a few skill charms.
As far as ditching the Cham goes, you really get more damage yield from the 40% ED in the helm than sacrificing a ring slot to Raven Frost.
As far as ditching Ber, it's really unnecessary. 50% is DR cap for PvP, and there is no better belt for a melee char than Verdungo's now. That just makes the Ber a wasted socket.
The second mod on those 2 jewels are somewhat moot. You can use 40/15 max if you want, but they'll only give you 30 more damage now. Assuming opponents has 50% DR, you'd only do an extra 3.75 damage. I say the +40 life would be more useful.
Feel free to comment on this. Hope this helps you out!
