W/Mo build

This is a very common build... but I have a question. As the monk secondary, is it more effective to use protection prayers or healing prayers? I've concluded that if you have a good healer then protection prayers will go a long way with the damage reductions and what not. However, if your healer isn't all that wonderful or is dead / MIA... then healing prayers helps you much more. But.. which would be better?

Thread moved to The Campfire (build discussion).

Warrior, has best dmg resistance in game. Needs little healing if at all.

W/Mo specced Protection. even BETTER dmg resistance. needs the bare minimum healing necessary if at all...

W/Mo who self-heals. Gets hit many times, runs out of energy and dies... the end...

Reducing Damage >>> Healing

Once more people understand this, a monk's life is much much easier...
