The whole point of protoshares is that at least one other DAC is going to be released, and when it is you get parts of that in accordance with how many protoshares you hold.
So the more profitable the new ones being released, the more valuable protoshares are since if you have protoshares you will get some of each of the new ones.
So no matter how profitable they turn out to be, presumably protoshares are even more profitable.

Been mining crypto since early 2011. Some advice: Do not ever rely on a future event occurring or a future development actually proceeding. Consider if it's really wise to mine and hold with the unproven expectation of a potential future event. If it doesn't happen, what will you be left with? If the project tanks, and PTS follows, what are you left with? I know this may be hard to hear, and I know this is BCT forums:

It's always wise to take your precautions, no matter what. That being said, it isn't wise to be skeptical of every endeavor just because there were scums in the past. I agree that the whole ideas of DACs is pretty ambitious but I see no reason for every single one of them to fail. There's nothing wrong in having a realistic development cycle for these ideas; after all, they are not like the copy-paste altcoins and genuinely need a lot of development and testing.
Also, just FYI, PTS holders got a share of MemoryCoin 2.0 at 10% (1 MMC for 10 PTS held) although that isn't a DAC. The expected schedule for Bitshares is sometime next year. That is probably the most awaited project for PTS holders.
