I have a hunch you probably want at least both CC/CD on your rings. Not something you're likely to be able to change immediately but worth keeping an eye out for.
Also afaik area damage is a pretty favorable stat for barbs (and almost anyone) - two of my friends both split time between WW (with BK and Wastes) and HOTA and are usually on the lookout for improving the Area Damage for both sets. Definitely want at least 50 paragon points in Area Damage as well.
Snapshot is basically when certain variables are/arent updated (and using it to your advantage). IIRC stricken's internal cooldown is essentially 1/(attacks per second) and this particular variable is only updated when you change maps, resurrect or drink a potion I think. As such you can game it so that your Stricken's internal cooldown is lower than it 'should' be by, say, using your potion to update the variable when you have high APS due to having high Pain Enhancer stacks or a Frenzy shrine or other buffs. And so by lowering it's internal cooldown you make it so that it's stacking more quickly thus making it more effective.
