While I don't share much of your evaluation of this debate, I agree with you that he did come to Harper's defense (Conservatives=barbarians?)
May came off as a good critic, but I didn't see much of what her platform had to offer. She had a tendency to shriek over the others, and that annoyed me.
Layton taking stabs at Dion = LOVE. I completely disagree with Layton's politics but I'd love to have him in opposition because I KNOW he'd make things move. I do NOT like Dion at all (my mom thinks he's a weasel and I sort of agree with her).
I did like that Harper was listing off the things he got done. As for the not looking at the camera, it's because he would rather face an actual living person to speak to rather than a camera, which can't give you visual feedback on the things you are saying.
If I had done the Debate Drinking Game, I'd have been DRUNK off my ASS with the mentions of "Green shift", "Carbon Tax" and "Working Families" (Thank yew *hic* Mr. Layton)...
