Dex will help your backstabs and other skills level up faster and maybe increase hit rating which has not been proven yet and Str to hit harder.

Barrel Rolls are great and when you get haze panther gear in the future, you will have max str dex unbuffed allowing you to put on resist gear and maintain 255 Str Dex with a shaman buffs for maximum dps.

Alot of people say Dex does not increase hit rating, but I feel it does so no harm in maxing it along with Str.

Dwarfs have great starting str and dex and are short which is good.

Barbarians are too tall and you will find yourself crouching just to get into places sometimes.
I bolded the useful information in this post. Dex is not a DPS stat. Dex won't "help" your backstabs. It won't improve your hit rate. It's only use for a rogue is to improve proc rate, which is very, very select few cases. It's not worthless, but it's not good enough to focus on raising.
