Isn't heal better in every form? It gives a similar amount of health and it lasts longer than 3 seconds.

How is Barrier useful at all?

indeed barier is better fore sole purpose of self protection, but a heal spell can heal the entire team if you stand in the middle of it.
I say that both spells are equialy as efficent depending on the situation

Long story short, if you are a carry you don't take heal. Your job is dishing out damage while living.

With the current meta, you take cleanse, ignite or barrier based on the oposing teams comp, your comps peel ability and your playstyle.

Edit: You don't take heal because you will likely be the target of an ignite when you need it.
