The pet uses a 50/50 intercede type buff(Master I was at least in beta). So you could say that the amount of damage it takes, it is also preventing from others. You could say that, but you would be slightly wrong.
Both sides of the intercede use different mitigation... so instead of looking at the amount the Ancestral Sentry takes in damage, you look at the amount the interceded person takes. The damage taken by the Ancestral Sentry would be an overestimation, but isn't extremely far off... and would be easier to look for.
ACT automatically calculating this has the same problem that Inquisition has.
(1196829152)[Tue Dec 04 23:32:32 2007] Venril Sathir hits Ancestral Sentry for 8292 slashing damage.
(1196829152)[Tue Dec 04 23:32:32 2007] Venril Sathir hits Santios for 3511 slashing damage.
So VS hits the Ancestral Sentry for 8292 and Santios for 3511. Essentially the Ancestral Sentry took 3511 damage from Santios where he would have taken 7022 normally. Easy enough to calculate... however, can you tell me who the Mystic is? The data simply isn't there, thus there is no easy way to attribute it to someone.
As a side note, the spell also intercedes power drains.
