Protect = 1 cast, 30 min, lessens damage from all hits you have to cast it once every 30 minutes unless someone dies or the party wipes for whatever reason, preventing damage via buffs is JUST as important as dpsing, if you don't use protect in later content, nobody willwant to raid or dungeon with you, i can guarantee that, its just plain stupid not to have protect up if you're a healer mid-end game, if you don't have protect up, people will ask for it just do both, use protect and dps.
