My advice, from the perspective of someone who's been around since the late 90s... Train more than one. Train two or three. I've seen barbs go from plate, to leather to chain, to leather to plate.... Don't go with the current flavor, hedge your bets.

Barbarian primary. I use leather on the body, chain on the head/hands, and plate greaves. When I want to hide, I just pop off the greaves. It works well enough for me, I've actually been doing it since before the changes to dances were announced. Even now, you can dance just fine in plate with good discipline.

As a previous poster said, I'd train multiple armor types. Even if they nerf hiding so that it's no longer incredibly OP, stealth is still a valuable tool to have in your toolbox, and as a previous poster said you never know what changes might be coming down the road.
