Can try my fire eq leap setup, I use 4 piece earth + unity + soj + cindercoat, no fury spender.
Or alternatively swap unity for rorg and use hexing pants.

earthquake, cota, leap, battle rage - marauder's rage, wotb, sprint
Passives use ruthless, brawler, boon of bul-khatos, rampage

Try get cdr on shoulders, helm(socket), and your offhand weapon.
Offhand reroll the damage range to cdr on sankis or devastator cause this build damage only based on mainhand. You can get 1 more cdr slot if you want, but you have to either give up 40-50 crit dmg (gloves/ring) or 700+ vit (gloves).

These are the stats you want on gear:
earth helm - str, vit, crit, socket
earth shoulder - str, vit, cdr eq damage
cindercoat - str, eq damage, fire damage, 3 sockets
earth pants - str, vit/resist, 2 sockets - best if can get str+vit+resist, but pants often have retarded rolls
earth gloves - str, vit, crit, crit damage - can trade vit or cdr if you want
belt - harrington's, str, vit, ar, life%
sunkeeper mainhand
sankis or devastator with damage rolled of for cdr in offhand

I use sunkeeper + sankis personally and sometimes swap sunkeeper to devastator for act5 mobs that take longer to kill, swap back to sunkeeper for elites.

Play style, alternate between wotb and cota for elites. Usually I try use wotb when the elites are surrounded with alot of other mobs and cota when the elites are alone.
With my setup, elites die in the first leap rotation when I wotb or cota or use harrington's.
For cota, you should snapshot the weapons, swap to fast mainhand dagger and echoing fury before you use cota, got quite big damage difference. For rift guardian, I save wotb and cota when I know rg is about to spawn, then I swap weapons, use wotb then use cota.
RG ussually dies before my cota unsummons.

I tried alot of different setups and I feel this is the fastest clearing, I do about 7ish min rift runs on barb. I used hota setup originally but after earthen might nerf, felt like too much fury issues. You would prolly have to change battle rage to some sort of fury gain skill like warcry or charge and you'd lose 25% damage. Hota probably does less then 25% of eq damage anyway, so I felt better to get battle rage and get cota.
Tried seismic slam also, too much fury issues.

But imo., just play crusader much better, clears rifts in like 5mins solo lol, I swapped to crusader also already.

That post is from like 2 months ago. If you watch the video in that post, he takes quite awhile to do that rift, and the rift boss takes him like 2.30 mins or something lol

If I'm not mistaken, only weapons work for atk speed snapshot. Could be wrong though.

I mean only weapons work for atk speed snapshot, I think you can't snapshot tasker. But I might be wrong not sure.

Hmm, I don't see many barbs using axe throw at all

You can try doing RIF, just keep gambling with kadala, probably get your sets faster. 2-3 hours a day is quite alot of play time lol.
