So does that mean that this item is not as trash as it looks does on the surface, assuming you have "Ok" AGI/DEX in general and are not into PVP and heavily reliant on Procs for agro/utility?

Always wondered if it was worth giving up that much AGI/DEX for AC.

You are the second person to ask about this earring, probably because its a good case study of the trade-off between different stats. But yes, your understanding is correct.

Based on my parses, the 18 AC will probably be material for tanking, especially since its an ear item. The AGI loss probably wont be noticeable if you have enough (I would say mid 100s), and the DEX loss won't really matter if you aren't interested in proc rate, or PvP.
