Legolas asked some valid questions, and so I can only offer some experience.
I used to have a barbarian dwarf, but never remembered to use the rage function...which I think is the only reason to want the barbarian. Besides, you are fatigued after using it...so I decided that a pure fighter dwarf was the best for the way that I play.
As for weapons, I always liked carrying an axe and a hammer. I tried light weapons, then tried battle weapons, and they don't seem to be much of a difference. If you only wanted an axe specialization, then that's okay too. What variance of axe you want will be left to you, but I suggest getting the feats of amidexterity, two weapon fighting and advanced two weapon fighting...then specialize and grab critical massive in that weapon. Only focus and specialize in one weapon, so you can use those purchase points for other things. I don't like the idea of a dwarf using a shield, as my character loves to run into the fire and kill without thought, so either you can get a two-handed axe or two smaller axes. I think they do about the same damage all in all. Strength should be about 20, and constitution and dexterity also waaaay up there. You'll be unbeatable by level 20. My favorite char. has been thus the dwarven fighter. He is the one that lurks in Ziroc's module of Undermountain...terrorizing all, though I have decided to retire him for a season. I have been recently building other PCs and will see who gets to have his or her chance next.
