"Protect us all" is a completely uninspiring ability. When there are a couple of hundred Orcs, Goblins don't play any role. Assassins do. And how. But not Goblins. Well, yes, one dead Angel. That's all. And even then, only if Howl is present. Otherwise, they are taken out in one or two casts of Meteor Shower, which is not even cast directly on them, but nearby, on other creatures.

You take them when you need all the 3rd-level Orcish warriors (they are rarely used in development anyway).
