Agility should be of no benefit for having attacks miss you, it does help with mitigation some but requires large amounts. How agility behaves on p99 is, of course, unknown.

If you're going with 16 starting points into dex then you're 16 points ahead of the ogre (but now 43 points behind on sta) which is actually pretty marginal, it takes more 100 dex to go from 2 procs a minute to 4 procs a minute .. When talking about PvE you get +60 from Shaman buff, another +100 if getting avatar'd and you're capped without gearing or starting points. Without avatar you're looking at 85+60 = 145. Regardless of if you're in Velious or Kunark era you're getting 9+ from your BP. 154dex now. RBB you're looking at +10. 164 dex. Another +5 easy on your arms (planes armor). 169. +7 with gauntlets of fiery might on your hands 176. Looking at +9 or more on your back (CoF, SBC, Cloak of Shadows) for 185ish and make up the last +15 with your sky shoulders. This is with itemization that isn't compromising just to raise your dex letting you use you gear for Hp/Mana/Resists on all your other slots while maintaining a 43 base sta advantage and 60 base str advantage. Throw in that you'll be wearing a NoS (or Velious dragon equivilant) on your neck and you can switch out the fiery might gaunts for anything you prefer. This is assuming a well-equipped (but not uber/BIS) shadowknight.
If you're PvP'ing where you can assume there are no shaman buffs and you're relying on procs to save the day for you then you're doing it wrong, if you're thinking that 16 dex advantage is going to make a noticable difference in interruption rate then I'll ask for some actual proof. Meanwhile, this thread says Dex does nothing for interrupt rates:

TL;DR The AC bonus is the only real advantage an iksar has in PVE and thats extremely dubious on P99, everything else is 1999 noob voodoo mechanics.
