Here's a basic build:
Hammers: 16
Strength: 14
Earth: everything else.

Skills:
Hammer Bash
Crushing Blow
Staggering Blow
Heavy Blow
Aftershock
Backbreaker or Battle Rage {e}
Wild Blow or Frenzy
Rez Signet

I'd go with battle rage instead of backbreaker, cause the extra adrenaline from battle rage will allow you to use heavy blow and hammer bash much more often and will keep the target knocked down.

Anyways, once you get 6 strikes of adrenaline (about 3 hits with battle rage), you can chain the first 4 skills in that list one after the other and then fire off aftershock for some sweet damage and 2 knockdowns. A couple more hits and you can repeat the chain again.
When battle rage ends, quickly use frenzy to reactivate it.

edit: it just hit me that you can reactivate battle rage while it's still active, so you don't really need frenzy. Take wild blow instead for killing those pesky stances and a nice critical hit (hammer crits for a lot).
