I am running 141 hit rating right now which is roughly translating to 8.94% hit, below the 9%. Hitting it exact with gemming right now would be difficult and I would go over the 9% hit. I did some switches of gems and got 10.34% which I felt was a little much. How much, if any really, dps am I losing being at 8.94% instead of 9? Could there be an expertise amount I could get that would bridge the gap or "bandage" it?

I don't think theres a "huge" difference for that .06% hit cap loss, I mean I just got Leggings of Divine Retribution which puts me a solid ~.22%ish hit under the cap, but I'm going to be running with Divine Retribution even if I don't hit cap. Another thing you could do is use hit food, as its just as easy to farm, and you can just use that if you don't like missing. Just use it temporarily until you're able to pick up gear upgrades that give you some hit, then you can go back to str food. I'm gonna try str food not hit capped for a few fights then try hit food, we'll have to see what happens, but the ArP upgrade from S3->Divine Ret prolly makes the hit loss worth it.
Basically I just rambled on there, oops, what I meant to say is, I wouldn't say go nuts on trying to get hit, but if you can hit cap I'd go for it, unless hit capping would severely gimp other stats. Also, I don't think that would "bridge" the miss gap but it would decrease dodges which would result in less hits being "missed" (Missed including dodge,parries,misses etc)
