I never mentioned a "solution".

I was responding to someone who was talking about being taken "seriously", to which I inferred they were talking about raiding encounters.

You aren't always going to need Esuna (unless SE specifically designs a dispel mechanic into every boss fight). Both healers won't need Protect. Work it out with your raid group.

I'm not disagreeing that Esuna should be baseline, though. I just disagree that it can't be worked around.
