"Barrage" has no pre-requisites and will flat out TRIPLE the potency of Empyreal Arrow (220). This leads to 660 potency from a single attack, the most powerful in the game if I'm not mistaken.

In comparison, Machinist's PVP ability "Between the Eyes" (which was just nerfed from 180 > 150 potency) requires CC for the maximum possible 450 potency. If you're able to pull that off it's still significantly less than the hassle-free and guaranteed 660 potency of Barrage + Empyreal Arrow.
But don't forget that MCH has SEVERAL other abilities to pair with BTE to increase their 1-GCD burst. MCH burst is far higher, instantly cast, and is more reliable.
