Well, I have maxed protection to be honest and I think that every engi should have it maxed if he claims to play support. The 60 armor basically saves you 1 damage per hit. The same for the mob. If you take some boss, 60 armor still saves that 1 damage a hit. But 10 seconds is a long time. In that 10 seconds, your team (assuming 2 op, 2 engi, 1 com) can hit 84 times. That translates to 84 damage lost to the armor you buffed the mob with. The skill deals 137.5 damage on average minus that 84 damage, which brings the damage dealt to 53.5 damage. Wither on the other hand will do 60 damage.

These numbers will vary on group setup.
