Have been running a Rift Mage with Fade Step instead of barrier. It takes no mana and has a 12 second cooldown as opposed to the 24 second cool down on Barrier. Using Clean Burn to lower cooldowns I pretty much have Fade Step available any time. If I am being attacked I Fade Step away and have the rest of my party concentrate on the mob that is on me. I also have three CC's in the Rift Mage line.
It's probably worth mentioning that Fade Step is just a straightforward amazing spell with a dictionary of effective uses, so comparing it to Barrier doesn't necessarily mean much.
