IMO Enduring Wall is better all around for combined tanking and dps. I don't use the Barrier anymore since I've gotten the Wall.
No question the Wall is a fantastic shield.  The main bonus it has though is the +CA, which suffers diminishing returns; if you have other +CA gear it isn't worth nearly as much.  The proc is damage related rather than defensive.  If you're tanking, R.B. is better, more defensive.  If you're in a DPS role, I agree the Wall is all around better. Plus- and this is a key point for some- R. Barrier is easy to get.  Even a casual raid equipped with legendary gear can take the named in SoH that drops it.
