Oblivion ring is standing in the place for Soulfire Grand Master:



Have master and evening out, then cast aura barbs and use master's ability if able. Your opponent takes damage for all permanents they control, while you stay unphased. Repeat as needed.

No. See the Aura Barbs Card rules:
2/1/2005: The damage is dealt by the enchantments, not by Aura Barbs.
So the lifelink does nothing. Only the 2 damage done by Grand Master are negated.

Aura Barbs and Enchanted Evening makes x damage to Players. X equals twice the amount of permanents each Player controls.

By adding soulfire Grand master Chewy hoped to gain the same amount of life in order to negate the damage. E.g. if you cast a lightning bolt while the grandmaster is in Play you will deal 3 damage and gain 3 life since the lightning bolt has lifelink.
But this does not work in the case of Aura Barbs since not the Aura Barbs does the damage (and triggers life gain) but the permanents do the damage.
