An important thing to consider about a barbarian/warlock build is that going into a rage prevents casting or concentrating on spells, so it's a good idea to have long duration spells that do not require any concentration. Spells like armor of Agathys fit that bill nicely. The Trickster's Escape invocation will also be useful in that regard when you're able to take it at a later level. Also, if you're going to go around dual wielding weapons, it's a good idea to not have too many spells that use somatic or material components. Look for spells that are just verbal, so that you can cast them even when you're holding both weapons.
Another thing that armor of Agathys grants is temporary hit points, which are more valuable to a raging barbarian than to other classes. In order to preserve spell slots, you could take the Fiendish Vigor invocation for a similar benefit, though that tends to be less valuable as you continue to gain levels, since it doesn't scale up.
The Gift of the Ever-Living Ones feature is very strong for a bear totem barbarian, so you may want to try to convince your fellow party members to help buff up your familiar so that you can more easily keep that benefit going during combat. Aid spells and the like can more than double a familiar's hit points. What's more, keeping the familiar close to the paladin will give it the benefit of its aura for saving throws. Another means of helping your familiar's survivability and for getting temporary hit points for yourself would be the Inspiring Leader feat. You could do that in lieu of things like armor of Agathys or Fiendish Vigor. Anything you can do to help your familiar survive a hit from an AoE spell will help keep your character functioning at maximum capability.
One thing you might consider when leveling up is to take some levels in bard since there's not one in the party. Song of Rest pairs nicely with Gift of the Ever-Living Ones, and Cutting Words could be yet another way to help keep your familiar safe. It also gives you a new option for reactions, since reaction spells are often going to be off the table for you when you're in a rage. Expertise may also pair well with Voice of the Chain Master when you're trying to persuade or deceive people through your familiar from miles away.
