You're always better off going eviscerate and axe. Not only can you not spike quickly enough with battle rage, but it's liable to run out in the middle of nowhere and drain your adrenal pool. Really, it's a bad skill.
This build should work well for CA. A good source of damage + a self-heal should help you last. However, I've had much better experience with Evis/Rake/Exe over the BR/Sword combo.
