Both Half-orcs and Dwarfs can naturally earn enough str to 25 str under a rage. An Evil Half-orc can hit a natural 25, while evil non-halfling can hit a natural 24. Or as much as I hate that weapon, you could just wield Crom Faeyr, which you'd get a fair bit sooner those buffs.
Half-orcs make better Berserkers then they do barbarians if they're evil, since the Berserker rage is better immunities and lasts longer, and adds +hit/damage rather then a str bonus, which means it actually helps when you're at maxed str.
