For example the enchant Windwalk sometimes may increase dodge or the Moonwell Phial that increases dodge when used. Is it better to gear with lower dodge and allow these things to make up the difference? Or is it better to always keep dodge and parry even for an across the board diminshing returns? Or is it better to take into account all the little extras even though they may not proc or have a CD?



Are you asking if you should gear your passive stats based around your proc'd stats? Or perhaps you never thought of it like that?

Simply put proc'd stats aren't 100% uptime, and in most cases less than 20% (closer to 10% if that), so accounting for them in your overall stat choices is pointless. They are a once-in-a-while perk that, especially in the case of trinkets or even engineering tinkers (though they usually have more reasonable cooldowns), are usually best macro'd to your "Oh Sh**" abilities, like Shield Wall, or left in their own hotkey/binding when you know a big hit is coming, or even macro'd to an ability with a similar cooldown.

In essence, you just wanna ignore them when gearing/gemming/reforging, unless you are really REALLY close to the cap, which I honestly don't know is possible or not at current gear levels since I haven't played hardcore in a couple of months. Summer has that effect on my WoW knowledge.

Post count just means you spend too much time reading and not enough playing.
