Blood hatred works just fine, and you can technically put two weapons on your barb, but you're gimping yourself by doing so.

Not sure if you have seen it but make a screenshot or something as some ppl are making pretty good assumptions what that person used and how he scaled the skills to reach such insane lvl of damage (related to barb itself, not items).

Except for the fact that the highest per-frame damage I've ever seen from a Barb (in modern Median anyway) is from a Dual wield Barb, your point falls somewhat flat.
Your offhand has limited use, but that doesn't make it useless. Spelldamage and -enemy resistances both work from the offhand, and casting animations are also faster.

When you have 1500 tg worth of gear I'm pretty sure any build looks impressive. It's also a highlight video where you don't see the other times he died because he's using lion stance and -res caster gear.
Also, iirc that video is before they fixed stormblast hitting after it expires, thus doubling the damage
