Protection Prayers complements the Healing Prayers attribute quite nicely. Whereas Healing Prayers focuses on restoring health to you and your allies, skills in the Protection Prayers line focus on preventing the damage from being dealt in the first place. When your party is taking less damage, there is less that needs to be healed. In addition to preventing attacks from hitting your allies, Protection Prayers can help your allies recover from conditions and hexes, which can be very destructive to your team.
Protection Prayers has more skills in it than the other Monk attributes, as well as many elite skills. These skills help in different ways: increasing health, reducing the damage taken from attacks and spells, restoring conditions, preventing attacks from hitting, and preventing the enemy from even attacking. One of the best ways to keep your party alive is to prevent anybody from damaging them, and that is exactly what the Protection Prayers line of skills allows you to do.
