Jesus the whole point of Makashi is to hide your weak and early focused down allies. This includes B1 etc.
As others have already pointed out, you still get to heavily punish those AOE attackers. In addition, if you are stealthed on your turn, you don't get countered yourself. This is exceptionally good versus those cancer Chewie and Hans under a CLS lead. It's actually much better in utillity. Of course if you are low level and actually want Dooku to be countered, then just leave the abillity as it is.
Besides, this also means his Makashi buff does NOT get dispelled by single target dispels or basics.
