If this is true, would that mean that dodge after this point would be more valuable than dodge prior to this point?
See first graph attached. Avoidance has more effect once you get to the crushing range. (it should be for 101.2% for a 73 boss mob but its the same principle).

Having said that, to get to 86.2% total avoidance is not easy, even stacking everything you can. Getting a good balance of all stats or stacking stamina will almost certainly be easier to heal overall than stacking avoidance to that point, even with the raid debuffs that you can take advantage of (insect swarm/scorpid sting is 7% extra avoidance).

Edit: Just realised I didn't show the value of avoidance. See second graph for the comparison of avoidance against worth of 1% avoidance.

Note that if you're on 60% dodge, 6% miss (total 66%) and you don't have insect swarm/scorpid sting while they are available in the raid, you're missing out on about 15-20% damage reduction (~2.5% per 1% avoidance at 65%, ~3.3% per 1% avoidance at 75%).
