Skill Design
This is a universal skill, Barbarians of all types should consider this skill for various reasons: to chase down fast moving enemies, to run away if things get tough or to just move faster through all areas. Although it does cost fury, and using this skill is limited to the end of the battle and some time after it.
First seen in BlizzCon 2009 demo, this skill is quite new. Other skills in this tree also give the Barbarian movement speed. It is unknown why the development team settled on having an active skill that gives movement speed, possibly to fasten the gameplay, especially in arenas. Notice the Barbarian leaves behind small tornadoes.

Development
Sprint first appeared at BlizzCon 2009 in the Barbarian's Berserker Skill Tree at Tier II. In the gameplay demo, Flux didn't find much use for it:[1]
This one I kept forgetting about, until I was running across some huge stretch of already cleared out desert. Then it came in handy, but I never thought to use it to race into combat, or to boost my speed while in combat.
After skill trees were eliminated, Sprint reappeared at BlizzCon 2010 as a Tier 4 skill. Although it was one of Barbarian's skills in the PvP demo, there are no gameplay reports detailing the usage of this skill.
Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Sprint became a level 23 skill.
In Other Games
Sprint is very similar to Diablo II's Barbarian skill Increased Speed. That skill, however, was a passive that boosted a Barbarian's speed all the time.
