Are these accurate? Do you disagree?

Most are pretty accurate. Im missing wukong though he gets picked for support pretty often.

Do you think Healing could count as Protection?

I think it Sustain is a more fitting category for healing, but protection works.

Added Wukong. Also, it kind of depresses me, seeing the constant repeats of Aggro Burst. Where is our sustain lanes? Where are our poke lanes? :(

Geb is aggressive and defensive in lane, easy tower dives, looking for picks etc.

You just leave the lane put Stone Shield on yourself, and use Roll Out either out of the jungle into the lane or even through the enemy tower.

After do that once or twice just the fact that you move into the jungle makes the enemy team forced to retreat, such a great way to zone and give your carry some good farm :)

So he's aggro burst. Can he also be considered a poke lane, thanks to his shield creating an opportunity for his hunter to act aggressive before retreating? (Shields Neith, who walks forward safely and backflips.)

I think a lot that CAN be aggressive burst are misinterpreted as such.

For example, Sobek is known for his fling initiate, but he's also known as one of the most defensive supports. His tail whip is excessively easy to land, yet the disruption cancels many things that the enemy can do to an ADC. As such, you usually fling, but do NOT immdiately follow it up with a tail whip. You wait for, say, an Arachne Drain Life and use tail whip to knock her off. He has an initiate, but he is a defensive support.

I have to go to class like, NOW, but I'll mention the rest when I get back

Well, Aggro Burst is a bit of a misnomer. When I mean aggro burst, I mean a god who spends absolutely everything at once to kill an enemy. Maybe I should call it a kill lane.

Comepare that to a poke support, like...okay, not much here, but Nami and Zyra from League are poke supports, and Sona is a hybrid sustain/poke.

Ra would be a pure sustain support, while Hel would be a sustain/kill support. Um, I'm not entire sure about this, but I think Chang'e would be a poke/sustain support, or at least her post-first-nerf-but-otherwise-after-release form was.

I consider Sobek a kill lane because in lane, in a 2v2 duo v duo fight, he just goes all out. His Tail Whip's defensive use is an extension of this, as a measure to prevent the enemy tank from peeling as his own hunter dismembers the other.

As you pointed out, it is good for dealing with offensive threats, but this is strictly between duo lanes.

Oh, and here's a hypothetical one:

Lane Focus: Sustain ( Solar Blessing) Team Focus: Healing ( Solar Blessing), Protection ( Divine Light), Damage.

Ymir is also an initiator. Don't know how you missed that one out. Frost Breath on multiple people can easily result in a wipe.
