Believe IVY proved that STR is the stat that dictates bow crits but this was awhily ago.

Dictates atk with bows and I'd like to see that data again. Should be dex though.
Ivory proved that, on P99, STR dictates your attack with bows, and DEX affects crit rate.

A lot of people believe that DEX has no effect on proc rate, but they are just misinterpreting patch notes. Procs are per minute, not per swing, but DEX increases your procs per minute. I used to play with a shaman that would never give me DEX buffs because the patch notes convinced him that it was useless, even though it increases your chance to land a hit (in pvp) and increases your procs per minute (in general).

You can EASILY test this, just by taking off your DEX gear or clicking off a buff and parsing 1k swings. Mob/skill level do not have an effect on proc rate, as procs can go off even on a miss.
