With low AR say sub 400, i think the only way to survive high MP play is to change your skill a bit and take all the defensive traits.
Stuff like Bloodlust, Tough as nail and Nerves of Steel/Superstition will be almost mandatory.
Can probably survive, but killing will be extremely slow.
To survive in high MP, it is not about AR. It is about EHP and life regen (LOH/LS).
Yes, some skill does give you better defense (War Cry VS Overpower/Crushing Advance).
You don't need passive/bloodlust & superstition if you have enough life regen (LOH/LS) & EHP from your gears.
Nerves of steel is popular in pvp, I reckon.
2 mandatory skills for most of the barbs nowadays are ruthless and weapons master.
