2. Provoke is REQUIRED because some content needs tanks to have it, last I checked there's no mechanic that requires the party to have protect on them. Yes, it mitigates ~5% damage on tanks, but it's not an essential cross-class skill.

3. A healer who doesn't dps will only make the run longer if everyone else does their jobs, yes, I know. It's bad to expect everyone to perform optimally while the healer is only doing the bare minimum, but people have to carry others all the time in DF. Make your own party if you don't like the fact that sometimes PF will match you up with someone who will just end up being dead weight you have to carry.
