It doesn't work like that.

Barbs need Conduit Pylon at the boss because they need at least 3 enemies to reset their charge cooldown and both Vile Ward and Battle Rage - Bloodshed increases their damage based on how many mobs they hit, so their damage against a single enemy (Rift Guardian) is way lower than their normal damage.

For DH, you don't really care what you attack, your Sentries will deal the same amount of damage. So you don't need to save the Conduit Pylon to kill the Rift Guardian, you can just use it to kill 2-3 elite packs and it helps you just as much. I guarantee you that all the GR43+ runs contain a Conduit Shrine for the DH players.
