I'm just sitting here happy that they removed its MP cost of Protect in 4.0 so the cost of rez+protect wouldn't murder your MP so much in Savage content. That said, I'd prefer it if they just removed its set-it-and-forget-it approach to Protect, or make it yet-another buster/aoe mitigation skill like Sacred Soil or Palisade so it's a more actively used skill.
