So I did some testing on dodge/parry. I went to Zangamarsh and ran autoattacks on the Bogflare Needlers (guaranteed level 62) for about 15 minutes. I am a 11/43/7 Mace specced rogue. Unfortunately that means that the Needlers spent a lot of time stunned, and when they weren't stunned they were sometimes casting (which I believe prevents them from dodging/parrying).

360 Weapon Skill, 187 Hit Rating, +5% Precision
1580 Total Attacks
1533 Landed (97.03%)
31 Missed (1.96%)
15 Parried (0.95%)
1 Dodged (0.06%)

The 1 dodge was pretty disheartening, since I got it near the end. =) Apparently, it means that Weapon Skill does not quite provide -0.1% to your opponent's dodge per level, but it's definitely far more than the old -0.04%. The real number of attacks I had where the needler wasn't casting or stunned is probably closer to 800, so I would consider the real parry rate to be about 2%.
