You can easily replace Protect after using it at the start of a battle, or in between pulls. Protect SHOULD NOT be on your bars 100% of the time. It is a complete waste. This argument can easily be used for something like Esuna, but Esuna has to be used in battle so you cannot as easily freely switch it. Also, Esuna is nice to have to help people ho make a mistake, or if you screw up yourself.

That being said E4E is a good boon to have when running dungeons. It isn't great but it's not terrible either, and having something additional to help you is always a plus. No you can't rely on the mitigation, but when it kicks in it's nice.
People will inevitably die during raid progression, so having one healer take Protect is still a good idea, dungeons and stuff? Yea take it off once applied.
