Your not counting dodge 4 from the duelist leathers or icy's. If you count rough hide you have to count dodge as you can't get the +4 elsewhere.

The max dex bonus available on leathers is really high and can make these better for almost any non monk ac character with a significant enough investment in dex.

My stalwart runs these and has 40+ dex and the new hide is just not enough to compete at these dex levels.
