I can only tell you what I have goten the most miles from. Sloting in them.
Before using a pet damg set and I do recomend one of the higher end pet damg sets as your goal. They are mainly damg bots with some added def. and bot healing.
I used two accurcy three damg. and one def. some people swear by swaping out the def for a heal but I think that depends on what your secondary set is. Like I have a low level bot/ff and I would probly slot it with the heal reather then the def. But on my high level Bot/Therm I have healing options for myself and my minions so I sloted with def.
Hope that helps.
I go for 2x Def, 2x acc/dmg Hami-Os, and Sovereign Right Resistance Bonus + Acc/Dmg/End IOs

I prefer:
Hami-O Acc/Dam (50)
Hami-O Acc/Dam (50)
Soulbound Dam/End (50)
Generic Heal IO (50)
Generic Defense IO (50)
Generic Defense IO (50)
This gives 66.60% accuracy, 94.89% damage, 33.13% endurance reduction, 49.70% defense, and 42.40% healing.

+Res pet IO
+Def pet IO
x2 vanilla def IOs
x2 Acc/damn hami-O's, if you can, or x2 Acc slots if you can't.
These things are great for slotting the Pet Auras in.

I agree with the percentages if I can't get the Hami-Os yet. I also think endurance comes before defense or heal since the protector bots run out of end in long battles - no end means no heal, no bubbles, no debuff/stuns nor any attacks. Happily, they don't need much end reduction.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
i have my protector bots with 1 acc, 3 defense, 2 heal (these are SOs still as i am still getting funds for him to start slotting, ive got 20 lvl 50s and they are expensive to slot, only finished 2 of them)
Low level (< 20)
1 - 2 Acc, 2 - 3 Dam
Mid level (24-31)
1 Acc, 2 - 3 Dam, 1 - 2 Def (you should have Tactics by 24)
High level (32+)
1 Acc, 2 Dam, 2 Def, 1 EndRedux
Or IOs/HamiOs to the same effect, whatever you can afford. EndRedux is required after level 32 or the Protector Bots will run out of End in long fights. The Def is handy and better the Heal imo because the Def protects you as well as your bots.
Pet Auras are better in the Drones and the Assault Bot imo, which have somewhat looser slotting.
Blood Mandate: Acc/Dam, Blood Mandate: Acc/Dam/End, Brilliant Leadership Acc/End, Brilliant Leadership Dam/End, Defense IO, Frankenslot Acc/Dam/End.
This gives 85.17% Accuracy, Damage, and End plus 23.20% Defense with 1.5% global recovery and 4% regen. (and it's cheap)
I have the aura IOs in different pets.
I slot End reduction because after the second upgrade ProtBots can be end hogs.
I persnally do not like slotting ProtBots for healing. I don't like sloting pets for something you cannot count on them doing on a regular basis. ProtBots seem to heal when they feel like it and since I took the Medicine pool it just doesn't seem worth it to me.
(Edit)
Blood Mandate Acc/Dam and Dam/End
Brilliant Leadership Acc/Dam and Dam/End
2 generic level 50 defense IOs
Do not slot the Prot bots with more than one Heal. The higher their heal, the less frequently they use the heal. Keeping their heal values lower, counter intuitively, vastly increases the lifespan of your Battle Drones.

The reason they heal more often when you dont slot heal is becouse the game uses and ratio check to see if your protect bots need to heal.
i.e. If your protect bots heal will heal 40% base and checks to see what bots have hit points lower then said 40% if all bots are seting at 39% then no heal is given and it will wait till next cycle of checks.
With battle drones having the lowest hit points and the protect bots haveing a higher amount of hit points. What is 40% for the portect bot would end up being like 50-60% for the battle drone. Now I dont know what the base heal is for the protect bot I pulled 40% out of the air.
But I can tell that is pattern it checks to see if its heal is up if it passes it moves on to checking to see if it has the stam for it then checks for possible targets for heal. If no target can match close to how much it can heal it fails check and you miss a possible heal. Or if any of the checks fail no heal. So inc the amout your protect bot can heal for leaves the battel drones out in the cold as there hit points will have to be very low most of the time to get the heal. And we all know that battle drones drop fast when there hit points get lower then havle.
Trying to figure out how to slot these guys. Did some research and if anything I am more undecided. Would be grateful for any added insight on how to slot them.
One other question. Does Electric fences have -KB? If not what, if anything, does.
Thank you
