Dodgy Dodge

So I'm working through the new build of my unarmed monk.  He's at 14m/2f/2a (maybe druid instead of arti but I'm keen for a little umd lovin and they made helf-elves grab their dilettant ankles).
I'm looking at my dodge and recall they changed the dodge stacking rules (didnt they?)  my cap is 28 with NS Agility (which doesnt stack with K Agility).
From what I recall NOTHING dodgy on items stacks with other items anymore but they doubled up the values.  So in working out which items' dodge bonuses are redundant now I take off my cloak with 6% and leave on my ring with 8%.  Thing is, my dodge goes down to 25 from 28.

Either it's not WAI or I'm retarded.  Not mutually exclusive.  Anyone got any ideas?

Dex Bonus of some kind on the cloak ? ( making a WAG here, as I'm not good at doing Maths to minmax characters )

Nice idea.  Its the Mabar cloak of night.  Nothing there as far as i can tell. 

My punt is that they screwed up the doubling up of the dodge numbers.  I haven't checked yet with other items but I'm thinking the cloak WAS giving 3%, it is now giving 6%, and they only coded the EXTRA 3% not to stack. 
(make sense?)

Going to check it out again with another dodge item.


EDIT:  Well it would seem that it was just hitting my cap. I can confirm that they have kindly doubled the dodge bonuses and screwed up/forgotten to implement "Dodge bonuses of different numerical values no longer stack".  Note that I also checked identical dodge bonuses and they DONT stack.  May as well enjoy it till patch 1.

I think haste will be changing from +1 AC to +1 dodge. I imagine that would also stack once that gets implemented.

Already exists. Certain abilities already say they "bypass X% dodge", though not sure any mobs have dodge yet (or dodge bypass).
