Master everything. Cleaves, defenses, weapons, haymaker, headbutt, bodyslam. All of it.
Learn EQ, and learn it well. You want a good balance of saves and hit/dam. Your biggest enemy is going to be evil clerics and shamans, so get maledictive and mental saves. Invokers, if you're smart, you should rip through fairly easily, so don't really focus on afflictive.
If this is your first berserker, stop caring about lives, because you're going to lose a lot of them. Don't get angry or quit out when you're killed. Go and re-equip, and get back in order. Battle with a berserker takes a lot of trial and error, which in turn, usually involves a lot of failure. So get used to it.
