Dwarven Barbarian should work fine for a starting character - that or a fighter class is pretty easy to get started with, and you should have plenty of hitpoints to survive most things.
As for dual classing, you can still use your class abilities - your rage - it just won't gain in power until you take more barbarian levels. Also, watch out for the xp penalty. I believe the Dwarven favored class is fighter. With any class besides fighter, you need to stay within 1 level of your current class or suffer a 20% XP penalty. Prestige classes don't count against this, though, so you could make your character a Dwarven Defender or Blackguard (if you're evil). I happen to like high level pure barbarians if you build them to get the epic rage feats in HOTU.
