I don't recommend building pots when you have weak hands, including your bluffing hands. The best time to bluff is when the pot is at its smallest ie. preflop.
I'm not raising AT on that board for value, but for protection. Scary board, so I'm betting to protect my hand. I know that many players will disagree and say unsubstantial things like "protecting your hand is overrated," and I cannot disagree. However, there are spots such as these where there are countless cards on the turn/river that are going to force us to hope the pot stays small. So then, we are not only oop, but we are facing a spot with a much higher difficulty than on the flop.
You know what's more overrated than protecting our hand? Extracting value with a pair of tens oop on a scary board.
