Ask any pld if rampart is good.
you have a skill that reduce half of that, 10% of EVERYONE in the group, and you dont like it?
you sir, have no idea how mitigating dmg is important, and im pretty sure you dont play your sch optimal.
How many fights is it that AoE damage taken so rapidly that the DR from Soil was absolutely needed for everyone to survive? Give Medica 2 and/or Whispering Dawn time to tick and you don't need to bother with Soil.

If we're talking just for single-target mitigation, Soil is almost always worse than Lustrate. If I take 5 Bahamut's Claws and an autoattack for ~1800 apiece, Soil is reducing 180x6=1080 damage. A Lustrate will heal me (~7.6k hp) for 1900.
