I believe his argument is mostly that zerker barb leans more towards pvp and reaver is more towards pve (and he wishes both could be used in PVP without having to swop for cc). It is a viable opinion and he is entitled to it. Most of you posting on here either don't play a barb or don't play a reaver barb. Switching weps shouldn't be an issue that's more of a L2P thing more than anything.
Although, he is right in saying it makes it much much easier to know when the reaver barb is going to cc. In case you're wondering I do player a barb and have been playing reaver for a bit now. A tip for OP if you want CCs and DPS you're going to have to give something up. Another words, use blood rave and go hybrid.
The reason so many barbs are bitter is because after the combo revamp most barbs stopped playing.
I would like them to speed up the animation on cyclone though because it's a bit useless in pvp. Wreck armor / jagged cut with an occasional WW is all I use.
My barbs name is Shrapnell. I don't claim to be the best but I do claim to have my own play style (even if it is considered bad, id rather be unique)
