The downside of going mutas vs protos is that it eats up all your gas and all you can really get is mass ling with your minerals, which are very weak against protos in midgame (force field, guardian shield, +1 zealots, colossus, HT all cream them). Pheonix also rape mutas if you micro them properly. You don't need equal numbers as you outrange them and your movement speed is higher + you can fire on the move. 4 pheonix vs 10 mutas with micro and you can just slowly pick them off with free shots. High templar don't fair so well vs mutas (in fact I usually get mutas to counter HT) as they can easily dodge storm + easily snipe your HT as they're very vurnerable units and mutas just fly over the rest of your army. Mutas only beat stalkers if you engage with inferior numbers (like warping in 4 at your mineral line when its under attack... you'll simply lose them without causing much damage).
