Frenzy Barb was my favorite build in Diablo 2 and it looks like it may as well hold true for Diablo 3 as well. I found this Diablo 3 Beta footage of a Frenzy Barb absolutely murdering The Skeleton King, while barely taking any damage in the process.

Beta Video: Female Barbarian vs The Skeleton King
There's some really nice footage of the Diablo 3 beta up on YouTube, featuring a female Barbarian battling her way through the end of Act 1.
