Def and avoid damage, or will the move fail after the second or third time of use (similar to the way protection works in Pokemon)? And is there a limit to how high I can boost a stat, or are there only a certain number of "stages" I can increase a single stat? Finally, how viable is it for team battles, can it block only a single attck or2 attacks, and is it not worth it if opponents use moves that hit both of my allies? Oh and one last question, does it have a priority in a battle like smack, or can an opponent hit me with a move before I use it?
Sadly, I do not know the answers to all of your questions, as testing would be needed, but I can attempt to answer as many as possible.
1. I do not have water barrier. Cannot test.

But buffs do stack, such as def increase. It probably has small pp, which makes it impossible to use forever.
2. Failure? Not sure. Again, I don't have it to test with.
3. I don't think there's a limit, but really, how high can you go before death? You gotta attack at some point in your life.
4. Not worth it. Unless your ally is willing to tank, can tank, and is at a disadvantage, he'll die too quickly unless you help out.
5. Unless it gives a guarantee in the description, it probably doesn't.
I'm sorry I couldn't help you right now! But when I get water barrier, I'll be sure to have you be the first to know, unless someone else can test for you.
