Is there any plans or skills related to a barb that uses a single weapon versus one that carries all four? Kind of like…how as a necro, you can sacrifice your use of minions for gains to damage, attack speed… for a barb, it would be cool that if you give up X weapon slot you get this bonus. Just a question/suggestion.
I don’t think so but you can transmog weapons to be invisible so it looks like you’re only carrying 1 or 2 instead of all of them.

That would actually be an interesting mechanic.
The Open Beta playtest did not allow Barbarians to reach their “Weapons Technique” specialties, while may allow the barbarian to do exactly what you have proposed.
I would certainly be in favour of such a system.

you have to be insane to do that, so probably no plans
Probably not super viable but I suppose you could make your entire skill set be skills that either let you select a weapon or are already linked to the weapon you want and then just glamour away the rest and treat those slots as stat sticks
Upon reaching Level 15 as a Barbarian, you will be able to unlock your Technique slot. You can gain the Expertise bonus of a certain weapon type regardless of which weapon type you use if you choose it as your Technique
Barbarians special thing is that each weapon gives a different type of bonus when used for attacking. You can pick one that applies no matter what on top of that. Though sacrificing could be good, there probably isn’t any way you are going to get enough of a bonus to compare to losing offensive aspects
