Here's what I'm showing:
protection.outlook.com. 7200    IN      NS      
ns1-gtm.glbdns.o365filtering.com.
protection.outlook.com. 7200    IN      NS      
ns2-gtm.glbdns.o365filtering.com.

Not bad at all.  Honestly, the amount of traffic for each person is probably 
minimal, 
and I would think it would affect those DNS servers before ours.

I was more thinking that most DNS resolvers will cache for some period of time 
and repeated lookups within the TTL would probably start rate limiting for most.

(quick reply)

The other question is, what is the TTL for the NS records for the same domain.

If the NS has a long TTL, then looking up the A record is pretty cheap (one DNS 
lookup to authoritative server).

If the NS has short TTL, then looking up the A record is pretty expensive 
(potentially all the way back to the root again).

NS records look like short TTL to me.  And generally short TTLs all the way, 
although I've not had a proper dig to see.
