Level 9 PK barb

Hullo I was going to make a lvl 9 pk baba with the following skills

Skills:
17 skill pts w/ all skill quests done

1 mastery (don't know what weap)
1 howl (prereq)
1 shout
1 double swing
13 bash

Equip:
Helm: Berserkers helm
Armor: Berserkers armor
Gloves: bloodfists
Belt: Signon's belt
Boots: Signon's boots
Rings/Ammy: +dmg/+life
Weapon1/2: 3 soc War axe or hammer with flawed gems.

Stats:
70 str
base dex
base energy
rest into vit

The basic idea is to use double swing with the bash synergy. The only thing I'm not sure about is if I should use a war axe or a war hammer. The war hammer does 50% more damage than the axe but is quite a bit slower. Will the faster attack speed of the war axe make up for its lack of damage?

Also, I thought about putting Sigs shield (for 100 def, 69% block, and +1 skills) on and going 1hand bash. Is this a better idea than dual wielding? If it is, should I go with the axe or hammer since I lose the double swing speed?

Final bonuses (the important ones imo) look something like this:
Life: +110
IAS: +10%
+dmg: +5 min
FHR: 30%
+skills: +1

This is for classic, but at such a low level, I don't see how there would be much difference in gear.
