This seems odd to me that there is so much difference between the various stats. I suppose if you assume some leech adding in health return, then EH and DEX will look much better, but still DEX doesn't seem to be able to hold up to EH at all. Please check and correct, this can't be entirely correct.

This actually makes sense. Due to how diminishing returns works, the more Dex you stack, the less effective dodge you get (as noted, you show in the gradation that you get very little dodge as you add more in -- after 1k Dex, it takes 1k to increase dodge by 10%).

It has nothing to do with diminishing returns. DEX is universally bad, even when it's at the start of it's curve, it's worse (for defense) than any other stat, and just gets worse from there.

I also don't understand why you're talking about other games as if there is some kind of universal law of gaming physics that health is always the best defensive stat. That's not the case in some games (Skyrim, for example) and brings nothing relevant to the discussion of stat priority for this game. In this game every defensive stat other than DEX does the same thing health does because it universally reduces incoming damage. Not some of one type and none of another as with most games, where armor reduces physical damage and resist doesn't.
