Kicked from DR Leveling because I don't slot Protect for low level dungeons?

[worldofneil]

Obviously, cast Protect from 20 and on, because the survivability granted by Protect goes up as base defense increases.

Or just cast it in every dungeon because as people have demonstrated with a tiny bit of effort we have the ability to cast protect AND use Cleric Stance. Maybe it'll make no difference to the tank, but maybe it'll give them two extra hits before they die (your math...). Why are people taking the chance?

Plus thank you for doing the research on the figures, but what about when a pull goes bad and the tank doesn't have all the hate. It'd sure be nice if those other players had something mitigating their damage.
