Health immunity and protection regeneration

Should protection still be regenerated with health immunity debuff?

Correct. You can't heal protection if you're health debuffed. You also can't gain temporary protection (like through Home One's unique if you attack out of turn--I'm sure there are others, but that's the first one that comes to my mind) when health debuffed.

Nest's unique is intended to work differently, though, so that she can serve as a counter to a very specific strategy (turn manipulation). They wanted her to gain a bunch of protection every time she's hit, but had to think of a loophole to get around heal debuffs, so instead of gaining Temporary Protection, she gains bonus protection temporarily. Which basically means the same thing, but is distinct enough to get around the debuffs--kind of like how you can't sing "Come Sail Away" on tv without Styx getting up on you, but you can sing "Come Ride A Boat" to the same tune and it scans the same, but is legally distinct enough that Styx has to sit and pout :p

Long story short: Usually, yes, you are correct. But Nest is a special case that intentionally skirts the rule so she can counter a common strategy.

If you're getting frustrated by her, there are quite a few strategy threads out there on how to beat her, one of them should give you all the information you need. But suffice it to say, use big hits on her, then ignore her while she has her bonus protection. Don't focus fire her, instead hit her once and then move on to someone else so that she gets to take turns and lose her bonus.
