Seems pretty fun with basicall 4 FPA breakpoint with very low investment in weapon IAS (other IAS not necessary as it's not affecting whirlwind speed so even eagle stance won't make you atk slower). Seems pretty fun but not as tanky (but cmon, u barb, u still have million ways to raise what you need be it defensive or offensive stats).. at least unless you get first TUs with "ctc on melee" . Depends on wat u mean as "fun". For me fun is far away from "ez doing everything in crappy gear without lifting a finger"

... And later near lvl 100 there will be many useful runewords with melee procs.
Unfortunately, Windform doesn't proc anything from offhand weapon, and since it only use the main sword, keeping ANY other weapons as offhand is useless, on top of that, the skill even mutes most stats on the offhand weapon (I have tested and found out it mute reanimate, attack rating,...).
It fully proc others melee hit proc, though (even on a shield).
A Windform barb is a pretty slow clearer (ultil you get godly gear with great aoe procs, which won't happen anytime soon). So my suggestion: play others barb, get good gear then switch to Windform for the fun.
