Yea I played quite a bit of throw barb, but not only, this season pretty much all barb skill trees.
Here is an example of two axes:

I had several more, but gave away, some upgraded with 40% life steal, early in the season.
Note than 2nd axe doesn't have jahs socketed, so with jahs it becomes 220-455 damage.
Now both of them have 20% deadly strike, which means they deal 20% more damage (which is unlisted). That makes them 264-546 damage for sor version, and spikenova one has 262-535.
You can technically put ds on grief axe, after like two ed MO to get it to 200, but thats gonna be pitiful 6% DS for 3 mo. And eth you can't do it at all.
Notice that both had also room for two life steal mo (could be something else).
If you use vizjun umo for deadly strike you gain even more free stats.
Crafted 1h can go to 190 max damage, so these rolls are lacking 50.
I think there is also min-max roll possible, which greatly increases the average.
They can roll with +3 barb skills.
There can be a res pierce (extremely useful for snake build), and there can be stat bonus, 20% strength or dex.
I had axe like that with 3 skills, but upgrade with life steal, and gave it away.
But my final point - proc. Even if crafted axe was literally HALF the damage of griefbringer, procs you get are so much better than crappy bear claw on kill, which is single projectile, id still use craft. Just test it.. Spikenova releases gigantic range nova around character, that procs timestrike, heals you, and because of the huge aoe, deals insane amount of combined damage, compared to bear claw. Sor would be little worse, but it is also much stronger proc than bear claw.
@voidAs for the LCS damage, I hope you are aware, that if you maxed protectors, you get big spell damage from them, which vastly fucks up LCS. It boosts all elemental damage you have on gear, charms and skills like thundergod or daedalus. That extra damage doesn't work with stampede, even though it is boosted in LCS.
Otherwise physical part of bloodlust that protectors use isn't all that great, if you don't wear gear thats boost it (like toraja champion and stuff). And you can cast your own bloodlust with berserkerr + qaraks will, thats gonna be over 500%, and protectors overwrite it.
