Barrage is basically spammable 43 damage to multiple targets. 43 may not look stellar, but consider that you can use it really often and it costs you 2 energy with 13 Expertise, and with a Zealous bow you will get back more than you spend.

I'd use a W/N rather than a R/W for a few different reasons. With Mark of pain you don't need to deal a lot of damage. I use flurry to increase the attack rate and put the hurt on. As for your Barrage, Cyclone Axe is a very good substitute. When you use Mark of Pain, the monsters generally need to be grouped to be effective. Since only Warrior Monsters group together easily(Mages and Rangers just shoot), You generally need physical protection over elemental, Thus the warrior armor being more effective than the ranger's.

Monsters? I'm talking PvP, mainly.
Not that I'd rather run W/N over R/X in PvE. In PvP though the choice is really easy.
