I love my barb cus i wanted a barb. That said, a troll in full plate looks fucking awesome.. so if you go troll, please wear full plate.
Troll also gets a snare clicky, so its got that going for it, probably could do some fun kite with it while you level? meh.
It doesn't really matter between troll/barb IMO.. extra few hps a tick is meh. If after a full life bar you're like, "that 86 more HPS I got as a troll is the reason I won that fight!" then you got lucky & you're saying something you'll never say again.
You get dat planer gear and wear it like a bawse then you will be happy u picked troll, that said planer gear is hard to get.

But daym, that shit makes me wish I rolled troll sometimes.
*edit* you said barb isnt hated by everyone, yet buying spells/skillups at the GM is easier as a troll, becuse the only place you can do that as a barb is in bumfuk halas 360 miles away from everywhere.
Fun to go on RP trips to halas tho so, barbs got that going for it I guess.
