I find it's only really useful when you have a mass of very low protection troops (like maenads). If your army already has good armor the boost is almost nothing.
Ummm... you've tested this? If you have prot-13 HI, as Man often does, the equation is 10+13+(10*13/40)=19.75 (rounds up to 20). 20 protection HI are incredibly good, and that's a hefty +7 bonus. Much more valuable than raising a 0-prot unit up to 10 protection.

Even Ulm benefits. Protection-18 Ulm HI goes to 24, a +6 bonus, as opposed to the +3 bonus from Legions of Steel. Or in addition, if you prefer
