Why does he end up with more APs than the other players? Do berserks in your campaign get extra APs? Or is he generally a combat monster?
Anyway, it should illustrate why nobody likes to travel togheter with berserks. Raving maniacs

Perhaps you should try to solve this problem in game, rather than through the system. Let there be important npc's that he can risk killing if he uses his berserker frenzy. Or let him become a social outcast if he isn't able to controll his killing frenzy.
People who know him should wisen up and pull out of combat when he starts foaming at the mouth. Making the character face the choice of controlling his anger or dying a lonely death on the battlefield.
Ha en god dag!
