I use a pally and have never played a protection warrior but my understanding is it's not a case of them not being viable, they just take more micro management whereas pallies are easy mode, i.e., practically no management.

As for a group with no healer, I think you will have problems. There are people on these forums running a tank and 4 elem shammies but a class such as a mage with no possibility of healing at all doesn't seem viable to me.
I think you've convinced me that my team makeup should be:
1x Prot Warrior
1x Priest
3x Mage

Your probably right, having the ability to heal is probably a lot more valuable than 1 more Mage DPS.

Too bad Mages didn't have some sort of pet they could summon to tank for them
