For one, stats are per ninja, therefore if you take oneself in the literal sense, it would not be to your team, but only to "oneself", which is mostly impossible (there is hidan so...)
For another, people have conducted tests as to whether damage reduction have any effect (when enemies hit you), and the tests have shown that it does in fact reduce damage taken. Granted, I can't find any tests conducted on our side at the moment(thou I believe I have seen one or two people mention doing them 1-2 month ago), but there are a lot of them in the CN version that can be found with a quick search.
PS: As it turns out, it is not a translation problem. The wording is equally confusing in Chinese, which is why so many people conducted the tests.

ur correct, i did some testing with it a few months ago myself on the NA version.
damage reduction reduces nin and tai damage u take.
the amount of damage reduced is roughly 33% per point compared to defense and resistance
i tested with lvl 7 gold 8 gates rune for all 3. i did not test to see if there are diminishing returns on any of the stats. i had ~6100 base defense/resistance and ~1000 base damage reduction before the runes
