Blocking is what all your little friends are for.I agree, there are two options here - max block, or do not touch Dex at all. Playing 1.10beta plays bad joke on me - as you surely know, in 1.10 having at least some block (I'm talking about shrunken heads of deflecting - 30-40% base block) makes life easier. In 1.09 block for summoner is not really recommended, may be except Hell Ancients and Hell Baal. It's true that block animation is somewhat long, but for me it's better to block some occational blows, than depend from quantity of your HPs.
Granted, maybe different in PvP, but I play only PvM. Also, as I recall, necromancers have a very long blocking animation.
And I can hardly imagine such build in PvP. May be that's because I do not duel.
