For my part, I dropped E4E on my Scholar. You can argue it's a waste not to have it, but in my experience it doesn't really amount to much in real terms. Wasting deployment tactics on E4E makes even less sense, since it should only ever be the tanks that are being struck directly if they're doing their jobs properly, so doubling it up on a melee or a mage DPS makes little sense.
If I'm forced to choose between protect and E4E, the former wins every time.
