I think it's more efficient versus barbs to have spells that decrease the damage you suffer at high levels. Put the 5 points from mobility and wild spirit to son of the wind and escapist.
You should be aware that it blasts a high amount of mana, though. With his 10 seconds of spring with +25% movement speed he will still get you. Ensnarring arrow might help you but you have to keep in mind that clever barbs change to a spear to have range on feint and that you have to stop for every shoot.
Since the balance update I tried with and without speed. You just waste points with it you can spend a lot better, in my oppinion.

You have a point saying 5 power points are very expensive for this passive speed, and different setups are possible.

Still, passive speed is far from useless, it just depends on your setup. Mine is a bit weird, since i'm using Wild Spirit(5) and no SOTW. But it is mostly because i'm playing with zerg, to be able to stay at front of the group to track (else a hunter fall behind ...).
