The trick to hunting Barioth is to keep moving, and to look for openings. Whenever the Barioth turns on one of your comrads, you should always either attack, use an item or sheath your blade. The latter two should be used when the Barioth is far away. When using the long sword on the Barioth, I always bring up the Spriritual Gauge and use 2-3 Spiritual Blades on its body first, then I aim for the spikes. Usually the Barioth's spikes are open when it either is trapped (obviously) or when it is charging someone else. When its spikes break, it will collapse and that's when you aim for the tusks. Usually 1-2 Spiritual Roundslashes starting at yellow power are enough to break the Barioth's tusks. When that's done, you want to aim for the tail, which is usually open when its flying, though anytime will do. When its tail is chopped off, I suggest you aim for the sides, where you are covered, because the Barioth can't aim for you, no matter which way it turns, but the Barioths tail stump will do. Just keep hitting it till it is ready to capture or dead. To dodge the Barioth, you usually have to know what state its in, because in rage state, it is a lot more dangerous as its attacks are faster and hit a wider area. To tell whether or not its in rage state, look closely at the eyes. If they're shining red, then it enraged and you should keep your guard up, if not, attack the sides. You certainly want to dodge the ice blast, so keep away from the mouth when the Barioth isn't down. The last piece of advice is that you can tell which way the Barioth will preform its "arm sweep" if you pay close attention which arm is being used, the left spikes will make the Barioth move right and forward, the right spikes, left, and you will always want to dodge at the spikes.
