1. General Optimization Advice for Protection Warriors
Optimizing through the Netherlight Crucible is straightforward; you are offered 2 initial paths, Shadow and Holy, and you should determine your path contingent on the following suggestions.
Defensively, you should mostly use the highest item level relic you have and
simply make the best of the traits it provides you with. The exception to this
is 
Bastion of the Aspects, which is a trait you should try to get in
all 3 of your relics, if at all possible. If you can combine this trait with
Vrykul Shield Training or 
Dragon Skin, then that is a
very solid defensive relic.
Offensively (especially for Mythic+), you can sacrifice item levels to make
sure all 3 relics have both 
Rage of the Fallen and
Thunder Crash.
2. Tier 2 Upgrade Priority for Protection Warriors
As stated above, you should choose your relics based on their trait or on their tier 3 trait, and then simply choose the best path through tier 2 based on this priority.
- Best:
Light Speed, 
Master of Shadows, and
Murderous Intent. - Good:
Refractive Shell,
Chaotic Darkness, and 
Shadowbind. - Bad:
Light's Embrace, 
Shocklight,
Torment the Weak, 
Secure in the Light,
Infusion of Light, and 
Dark Sorrows.
3. Tier 3 Upgrade Priority for Protection Warriors
The Tier 3 upgrades priority has been discussed at the top of this page.
