So....what most people are saying is 'we have opinions on our preferences.' There's no winner here, so do what you want. But the other interesting thing that people say is that it is also about gear choice.
I've personally found it harder to raise dex without sacrificing others stats. I find it relatively easy to add HP and Str in combination on gear, and I find it pretty easy to add to MR/CR/FR along with Wisdom. For someone who likes to solo, both while leveling and at 60 to farm stuff, I prioritize conserving HP. That means reliance on regen, procs, and bows. Which is why I wear lots of resist gear and prioritize dex for procs.
If you are an end-game raider that is min-maxing, then I don't know why you are rolling Ranger in the first place. Min-maxing a Ranger is a little like trying to be a main healer as a Paladin. But nonetheless, in that context, then you will assume that you always have lvl 60 shaman buffs (Str + Dex + Focus), which adds a ton of stats (though I find most shamans ignore me if I ask for dex+str+focus anyway and just give me focus). Also in many raid situations you won't want to use proc weapons to avoid pulling aggro. And you want to survive AE damage, since healing a ranger will never be a priority. In that case, and only that case, do I see a justification for stamina.
But if that was your mentality I sort of doubt you would be asking the P99 forums for stat allocation advice, and if you are untwinked, you are heavily gimping yourself until higher levels and better gear.
