It's life stealing for each target you hit. 
Don't know about CB's.

Barrage will steal life from each opponent on a vampiric bow, and Rangers make the best barragers because they have expertise to use other bow attacks, such as interrupts, among other reasons.

It is bassicaly the only kind of bow i use when i run barrage. It is great because it keeps giving you a little health and gives you a little more damage. If you combine it with vigorous spirit and live vicarously it owns since it leaves your heatlh up. Also you are better off making a R/X, i do here that A/R's do make fairly good barragers but you are better off with a ranger.

An A/R Critical Barrager does a fair amount of damage and has almost unlimited mana.
With barrage, you gain a lot of mana with each critical hit, using Critical Eye you gain even more mana, and if you use a Zealous string with a +5 energy bow you will not have a problem spamming barrage on a mob. You basically become a very effective AoE Nuker. If you add Sharpen Dagger, you will be a condition spreader and cause bleeding to all the critical hit foes.

When you fire a vampiric arrow, you steal 5 HP per target. So, fire barrage with 3 targets, you steal 5 energy from each target (15 HP).
Critical Barragers are a clever concept in my opinion. I haven't had the chance to witness them in action, though.

I use a Vamp bow for my Barraging needs, and it adds 5 damage on every target hit, and heals me 5 points on every target hit. It's a beautiful thing.
Also, I toyed with a Crit Barrager for a while, and I was really impressed. They can deal comparable damage to a Ranger and put Bleeding on an area, not to mention that they almost never run out of energy. It's a perfectly viable option so long as you watch your enchants.

Barrage is a great skill if your creative. I've got some nice builds which use this skill. Its best to make use of your bow by modding it properly for your build.

Yeps... Barrage and Vamp really owns for AOE damage for rangers. Have a switch out for Zealous as well so if you run low switch and voila.
Going to try out a Crit/Barrager sounds like fun.

Yeah, the only three bows I need are my 5/1 Vampyric Stormbow, my Zealous Stormbow and my Fiery Jade Longbow (for tainted flames build).

Actually the winning combo is -
Vamp bow +
20% enchants grip +
vigorous spirit (4-5 in healing) gets 10 or 11 hp (36 secs w ench mod) can be easily maintained
15pt heals per hit for 30+ secs
Substitute (or add w' pts in smiting) Judges insight, a hornbow w' 20/20 sundering (or firey depending on foes) and you will find yourself doing staggering damage to foes affected by holy damage.
20/20 - 1 foe in 5 arrows
+10% from bow
+20% from JI
= 50% AP (+ holy dmg or fire)
mad bombs !
I have seen a single arrow do 312 dmg vs lvl 15 undead - now that is some fun s**t !
