Looking for more info on Dragon Booty

Having looked at the information ATA provided us about Dragon Booty, I am deeply unsatisfied.

I have some specific questions below, but ideally, please someone point me to a thorough guide to Dragon Booty.

Based on ATA's description of the Booty abilities:

1. What is the difference between Guardian and Protector? They appear to be identical, as described, namely providing a bonus to all PvP defence.

2. Do the Prospector, Wrangler and Miner abilities provide a gathering speed boost, a percent boost to the amount gathered, or an amount of bonus tokens? Where can the extra amount be seen in the gather report?

3. If the Prospector, Wrangler and Miner abilities provide a percent boost to the amount gathered (option 2b), does it count towards the hourly Resource Gathering event? If not, why not? What about the Lord of the Hoard and Supply Stockpile events?

4. Do the Prospector, Wrangler and Miner abilities apply to PvE attacks? Where can the bonus be seen in the reports?

5. Does Emissary apply to the PvP Ally Strength Cap, as written, or does it boost PvP Ally Strength? Does this only apply to Tactics, or Gather amount as well?

That's all for now. Thanks in advance for your answers.
