Stacking position 1 usually has also one more important drawback- lower total initiative. If you rely on instant barrier for your team, you shouldnt go for extremes because of how initiative runes scale.
Even at a barrier loss, it's often preferred to have the move 1 initiative advantage, provided your team can take the hits in the 1st round, or are expendable.
You lose 40% damage, but if you have a control mistery or combo from you position 1, you can stop your opponent from attacking ( or kill him ) before they can utilize the barrier benefits.
