Yeah, I know DBZ is bullshit pretty much, but I'm just giving a plausible explaination that is rather supported by other anime that use the chi/ki/chakra/Nen system.
In regards to Scapegoat, it doesn't fit Renny's image so much as Umbreon, who would be rather protective of him in spite of anyone else. Plus, Renny could very well order the attack be directed to someone who can use Protect (like himself) and thus negate all attacks directed to that one target.
It might also have other viable implications. If for example, we were facing a very strong water type opponent and someone had Water Absorb (like Moon's Vaporeon) and there was someone who was weak to water on our side, there might be a valid benefit to attempt to protect the one weak to water by redirecting it to the one who would grow stronger with it. Or maybe someone who knows Destiny Bond if they were willing or something like that so that the one who knocked out the ally was sure to be KOed (or a boss would take HEAVY damage). Or Cecilia's Invincibility mode. And otherwise, it's useful enough once in a rare while to save a medic or someone who is crucial to a plan even if it doesn't combo with anyone/anything.
But yes, Renny would not want to use the move to save his own ass at the cost of someone else' if he could help it. (Think of it as Umbreon learning the move herself as opposed to Renny teaching it to her since that would not make as much sense.) It's a potent tool, but not something to be spammed at every occasion. It gives Umbreon a purpose that she has been otherwise lacking. (Although hopefully the change in using stats more faithfully will make her as useful as she was meant to be)
On the plus side though, it makes perfect sense if you consider that Umbreon could make HERSELF the scapegoat. She has HEAVY defenses and stamina (not as high as Mollesk but still quite sturdy) and if she gets inflicted with a status condition, that foe gets the status condition too in a vengeful retribution. ^^

He did, but that was when Dire Hit was modified by the crit system to improve its power and such. Now AB said we would have normal Dire Hits in unlimited quantities. ^^
In regard to the Wonder Items, I didn't mean that we would able to use them infinitely (even though I did ask if Medics would have them, but that's highly unlikely as hell). But whether they could be a valid item for PCs to carry. Improved X Stat items instead of just increasing a single stat by one level and such like that.

Ah, it reminds me of RO chemists again. ^^
And I'm totally not evil. :3 Doesn't mean I can't kick some ass though.
