Doing a minion barb, not really enjoying it so far.

So for some pretext, I leveled it with whisper caches. I had no real usable gear except what cam out of the caches which was just ok, and no aspected I needed. Since then I farmed some aspects but gear is really lacking. No Arreats or Banished lords. Can someone direct me to a build guides to get me through this part, or shoukd I just shelve this for now and go for a different build? My big issue seems to be cooldown.

Chainscourged Mail vs Arreats Bearing for Minion Barb following Maxroll endgame guide

So while I was trying to upgrade white pants to uniques, hoping for an Arreats, I got a chainscourged. I remembered reading that this was a good unique for this build. What I found is I can now spam leap. No more cooldown. This was an issue since this build, except for one of the shouts, everything has a cooldown and leap uses both fury and cooldown.

Basically what I'm wondering is does the extra damage make arreats the way to go vs. Being able to spam which does increase damage by just being able to use it 3 or 4 times more before the normal cooldown process.

How are variants chosen and applied

Title says it all. I'm running a minion barb and following the maxroll end game build. I don't have all the aspects yet so if they are tied to particular aspects, it might explain some things. I basically saved whisper caches to level him up so his gear and aspects are minimal.

The guide tells me to choose different variants like Mosh for Leap, The Chosen for CotA, and Retaliation for Iron Skin
