Because unless you are absolutely geared to the gills and have all your EDs maxed for twists, Barbs aren't particularly OP in epic content? Blood Strength doesn't scale into epic levels, so unless you've got healing from twists (and the SP to actually use them), you're reliant on picking up residual heals from the group or following behind them while you try and recharge with Cure Serious and Silver Flame pots.
It wouldn't take much to bring other classes in line really for defense. P/MRR is just so powerful right now. If they reworked evasion so it offered similar survivability and made CC spells harder for mobs to resist and removed boss immunity to them we'd have a start. Honestly chain casting hold monster + otto's + whatever else to keep a boss cooking in your firewall or whatever should be just as viable a strat if Paladins can get up to, what, 90% damage reduction and just face tank anything without fear.
It also makes multi-classing pretty much non-existent for spellcasters. The most you ever see is 1 fighter for heavy armor + bonus feat or 1 art/rogue for trapping. Otherwise it's go pure or go home and not because any of the capstones aren't shit (spoiler alert, they're all shit) but because you need that 1 level for beating sr/dc or whatever. It's sad when everyone gets a boner over the shiradi PM build because the only way to be useful on bosses in EE is to melee for 1/4th the dps of other classes.
I asked for mod powers so I could just make one thread and keep changing it but the powers that be is too busy with like family or some such nonsense.
