Thanks to the new update, the medic can now be a major damage dealer.
Almost got the best damage, but with reviving, healing and walling I got the MvP. :)

Weapons:
Medigun: Charge the barrier faster when taking hits while immune. Also helps by not dying while using the barrier.
Amputator: Faster regen. You'll need it since you can't have health on kill for the barrier.
Primary doesn't matter.

Upgrades:
Barrier level 2 to deal big damage and block the robots.
Pick the best resistances to deal with the current wave.
When maxed (or not necessary atm) go for the healing expert to have better regen, heal faster (builds the barrier gauge faster) and revive faster.
Then go for the canteen upgrade and spam ubers when necessary (always use on someone).
Finally i'll sugest faster ubercharge rate, passive regen and maybe walking speed.
DON'T BUY THE OVERHEAL EXPERT (filling the barrier gauge will be much harder).

General strategy:
Use barrier as soon as possible or when you know a big crowd is coming.
Find narrow spots to trap the robots to your barrier. Beware of the pyros, since the barrier doesn't block fire particles (use uber canteens or the ubercharge when they come).
Also try to use ubercharges/uber canteens while healing someone and absorb some damage to fill the barrier gauge (absorbing a sentry buster explosion completely fills it, I guess).
Beware where you're looking, if one robot go through your barrier, it might get troublesome.
Be very carefull around melee robots, if one go through the barrier it most likely be the end for you.
Giants are not blocked by the barrier (except sometimes bosses, for some reason?), so follow them with the edge of the barrier touching them, so you can protect yourself against the projectiles and deal damage at the same time.
