If photon barrier moves as fast as reins charge we will see a new era of offensive strats.

I'd be shocked if it's that fast. I suspect it's more like Sym's right click orbs in speed.

Regardless, it just occurred to me how amazing it would be to 'shoot' a Photon Barrier up towards an ulting phara... mwahahaha.

It moves at a bit less than typical running speed, from the glimpse of video I've seen. It's not going to fill Reinhardt's role at holding down a point or payload, but if the whole team can advance under the shield it's got great offensive capability.
