Barkshield only absorbs the first 3 hits - 4 when high enough. As a GWF you will get hit a lot more than this in every fight so it's not appropriate for you. I'd suggest Negation.
Personally I think Barkshield is only ok for TR's as they have low AC but pop in & out of stealth - as such they don't get hit much but when they do it hurts. They don't really get hit enough to build up the effectiveness of a Negation.
