Actually Heal cleanses the grievous wound effects... So there is little to no point in taking this... Overall heal gives you almost exactly the same "health value" booted with a speed buff - also it helps a teammate in a gank or endgame in fights... not to mention the hp you gain with heal doesn't just disappear in 2 sec... you can actually use this spell after a abd trade and stay - while barrier can only save you from a bad situation but you will still have to recall as you will be very low even if you escape... With the new heal I think there is hardly any reason to take barrier (maybe vs silence champs if it really goes through that but there arent that many of those around to make this spell anything but a mediocre counterpick)
