Well, you can get a good cheap build for 6 sojs. You can get arreats for 1, shaft for 1, war traveler for 2, string for gems, and a shaelshaeleth ccb for 2.
Just about any barb can succeed in hell cows, I am leveling a new pvp barb to 90 before I transfer my gear, so I'm just using what I find along the way. Right now I'm using a cruel great sword with 150 max dmg 2handed, my whirlwind damage is 700-1000. However, with a 7% LL ring, a cathans, a 6ML ammy, and a stealskull, I can survive fairly well as-is in small (less than 10) packs of cows, and while I'm not the fastest killer, my total gear could be obtained for 15 chipped gems. To be honest, with shaft, arreats face, a cathans, a manald, and a ccb, you'll be killing very quickly.
Another subclass you might want to look into is polearm, my friend has one that can clear cows as fast as some nova sorcs, I am not too familiar with the weapon speeds of the elite polearms, so I'll have to get back to you on this one.
