Whirlwind

Strategy
==Strategy==
Take advantage of the two quick hits with every Whirlwind, and make lots of short, quick spins, especially if you have a shower slower weapon.
The "dance of death." Target a spot just on the other side of a nearby monster. Once the Barbarian starts spinning, keep the mouse button depressed and move the cursor to your next targeted spot, just a couple of yards away from the first spot. Repeat this time and again, moving over the same monster repeatedly, often in square or triangle shapes. This technique is the best way to deal with a single target, such as a boss monster, and it fully exploits the two quick hits every use of Whirlwind grants.
On very difficulty packs, especially if there is a boss monster with Mana Burn, you want to do longer spins. You can't be interrupted mid-spin, but you can be swarmed when you stop, and hit too fast to start another one. Barbs can take tremendous damage while they are spinning, but get it all back with leech, as long as they keep hitting. This works with Mana Burn as well, you can be hit and mana burned to nothing, and refill the mana bulb with the next few hits as the spin continues. A single Mana Burn boss can be more trouble than a mob, and it can be easier to stand still and kill it with Bash, Stun, or Berzerk.
