I have a lvl 19 Barbarian so I got an idea of what you need.

You need a high Str in order to use some of his spells which require large manacaches. WarCry is one example. Creates three +5 skulls and you need to have 25 red mana when you use it so you don't lose the turn. Then it takes like 3-4 lvls to increase the maximum red mana with +2(!) so atleast 20 Str.

As for the other stats....

Agility is great in the beginning and midgame so having it at like lvl 10 to get the + Actionpoints and some defense is a good idea.

Intelligence is important for spellpenetration when facing foes with high morale. Eventhough the Barbarian relies on his weapon and criticals to destroy the enemy he simply must have some Int if he doesn't want half his spells resisted.
Then again, every character has a weak point and Int is the Barbarians. You can lvl it a bit if you can't stand getting half your spells resisted but he can make due without it. Before lvl 30, don't go above 3 Int. But if you want to build a slightly different Barbarian you can lvl it to 10 or 12.

Stamina is a main attribute of the Barbarian according to the characterinfo but I feel that Stamina is only meant to be boosted to lvl 15 or more for the Templar due to Shield Criticals being possibly COMPLETELY useless if you don't use a shield. However, Stamina is worth to be lvled to atleast lvl 6 in the beginning due to the HP boost. I'd say lvl 6 is enough but if you really don't want to lose a single battle then lvl 10 or even 15 will almost guarantee that.

Morale is the attribute to lvl except for Str. Really, Strength & Morale are THE two attributes that a really powerful Barbarian needs. Even 20 spellresistance will make it so much easier.
The spellresistance takes care of (depending on their Int) like 35% of their spells while you with your high Str and powerful weapons will simply smash & skulldamage them to oblivion!
