You're chance to block is the same, regardless of who is attacking you. However, Lister & Co. use an unblockable attack (Smite). Block works at 100% of its listed value against all attacks with any physical damage, except for Smite.
All characters don't need max block. In fact, I've never had a character with max block.
Caster builds can leave their dex at base, unless they're using a Wizard Spike/other high dex weapon. If you aren't having trouble hitting, you don't need more points into dex. You can even pull off a melee build with base dex, as long as you get enough AR from items, like Angelic Rings. However, characters that use Bows/Thrown Weapons get increased damage per point in dexterity, so it is beneficial to pump it.
So if you're not using a ranged weapon, get just enough dex for your items, as long as you can get enough AR from items.
