Hork BARB !!!!! I used one last ladder as my major GFer. The best way
to do it is to do MF runs with a partner, say pit runs with a bowazon.
What you want is a pit runner who leaves bodies.

Also good for just going to the Council in Trav and then horking their
bodies for gold. There's a guy, Tempus who averaged about 750k (from
memory) per run in 1.10. That's pure gold, not selling items.

Anyway, your horker is just there to hork dead bodies. So, all he wears
is MF gear. Keep in mind that a barb is the only character that can use
2 Ali Babas.

Wealth
2 * Ali baba (Ist/Lem if you can)
IK Helm (with 2 PTopaz/Lems)
2 Nagels/Dwarf Stars
Chancies
WT/Infernostrides

So that's about 350-400 cheap MF gear. Most expensive would be war
travs. That doesn't include any charms like a gheeds you want to be
using.

Tempus advocates putting 20 points in Find Item (FI) but I like to get
it to about 9 after + skills since the diminishing returns really kick
in then. I wouldnt go for the heartcarvers or echoing weapons since you
lose a lot of GF/MF by using them for only a small percentage increase
in horkability (tm).

anyway, was a bit scattererd there. hope that helped.

Use any barb type--your frenzy guy is fine--and then start subsituting as
much mf gear for killing gear as he can tolerate.  For instance, dump any PD
charms you have for MF charms, etc.  You definitely want something like a
pair of Babas or Gulls or a combo to switch to for Horking.  Then put you
some points in Find Item--horking's quite effective with as few as 7-8 or so
points in it.  Of course, the more the merrier, but after around 8 or so
points you have highly diminished returns.

Then just hork away, but be careful, it's quite habit forming! :-)

People have already answered most of your questions I think, but I'll
throw in my two cents' worth.

Yes, the more points you place in Find Item the higher percentage
chance you have to find, well, an item. It doesn't increase the
likeliness of the colour, just increases the chance that something will
be Horked. After skills items, etc., my Barb has a clvl 16 Find Item,
giving him a 49% chance. He has an Ali Baba and an Echoing weapon on
switch to Hork. At one point he had 2 Ali Babas (great for gold find),
but he seemed to only Hork blue items with that set-up. And that's not
based on 10 or 12 runs. He got to clvl 92 by soloing, so I had a lot of
runs to compare what *seemed* to give me the best result.

As for how high it has to be to be worthwhile, that's a little tricky.
Sometimes, just like the LCS, that Find Item percentage seems to lie.
With a 49% chance, which is basically 50/50, he can Hork his way
through 6 or 8 critters and get nothing.

I don't have a second computer to make BO/Enchant slaves or to Forge
rush, and I basically solo, so all my characters have to be able to
solo the entire game themselves. That said, I don't think you have to
make a specific Horker per se. My Barb, after maxing Concentrate, Sword
Mastery, BO, etc., still has 5 points to spend. I think it's safe to
say that if you go the Frenzy route you'll still have enough leftover
points to place in Find Item which, combined with any +skills items,
will make it good enough. Besides, as you can see here:

http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/skills/barbarian-warcries.shtml#finditem

. . . the skill, like others have said, has significant diminishing
returns. I doubt it's something you'd want to max, not for that one
extra percentage point to find an item.

One weird thing I have noticed, and this is just me, is that it doesn't
seem to work all that well in times of very bad lag. My lag has been
awful since Christmas (800-1000 ping), and what I have noticed is that
it takes three or four attempts to Hork something, yet the corpse will
still show as being "Horkable", then suddenly it's not. What my Barb
does is have the Find Item skill on the right mouse button, I just keep
the button depressed, and away he goes. But in times of lag I find this
doesn't work. It's like he's Horking too fast for the server to
recognize/register each individual Hork, so what he does is Hork a body
like once every two seconds. When lag is fine he can Hork away at
breakneck speed and things drop all over the place, but when lag is
bad, nothing drops at all. Like I said, this could be just me, but I
can't really find another explanation why he can Hork an entire Fallen
camp of, say, 20-30 bodies with a 49% chance to Find Item and
absolutely nothing at all drops.

I wish you luck and want a full report of all the awesome stuff you
find. :-)

I used to regularly team my barb with a powerful mf'ing sorc. There was
nowhere in the game we couldn't farm, and made an awesome mf'ing pair for
sure.

My Barb does okay and prefers to kill things himself. Having said that,
I don't have any "regulars" on my friends list so I don't really have
anyone to pway wif me. *sob* :-(
