IMO if you feel you're just going to get outplayed postlfop then fold'em, but if that's the case there is certainly a better table out there to choose from. I'm not sure how profitable playing these hands in a higher stakes game would be, but because microstakes tables are usually either weak-tight or loose/passive, you'll either get lots of callers when you raise thus giving you great pot odds, or you'll get 1 or 2 callers who will fold to your c-bet 90% of the time, and won't let go of an overpair when you do happen to make your set.
I don't think this is a useful thought process...

Of course game dynamics change, of course generalities suck, but it's not useful to think about it that way. Any given situation is unique, etc.

Higher stakes games have some players that are putting you on a fairly accurate range, at least preflop, so adding 22-55 to your UTG raising range makes more sense for value and for balance. That said, at really loose passive games, limping is fine. If you think you can get someone's stack in without raising preflop, then you can probably limp these more profitably than you can raise them. I've always tried to key my game towards moving up, so I've been raising them UTG since I played $5nl.
