Protection is worth maxing in my opinion. I noticed once that I maxed it that I didn't have to spam empathy as much, saving mana. Currently I have empathy and protection maxed, with transferrence probably being third. I hardly used the mez, and it had a very short range; got rid of it totally. Same with wither... Waste of mana. Also got rid of the shield, but I may end up putting one point back in it. Don't have pain yet at level 15. The group armor buff is so good at max that I may steal a point or two from empathy and add them to transference or leech instead.
If this sounds like a buff-bot, that is basicly how I play my engie. Buff, dps on regular mobs, leech and transferrence on bosses. Much easier than my operative, but the op does a ton more damage.
