Barbarians are IMO pretty much equal to Fighters. There aren't that many feats which you really can't do without to spend all those extra feat points of a Fighter on.
For a really effective tank, why not go Fighter 4/Barbarian x? You get all the plusses of a Barbarian (extra HP, (Greater/Tireless) Rage, Damage Reduction, fast movement) and you get a few extra feat points and can get Weapon Specialization.
