Parry is bugged and if you parry and attack the mobs next attack comes faster. So really you want that to be your lowest and never try to increase it. Stack dodge ftw.
NO, NO, NO, NO.

I see this bit of misinformation all the time. You geming/enchanting/etc parry is OK. Its a bad stat to shoot for, since each point of parry is not much, whereas each point of dodge (or defense) is a lot more.
Except of course that the rune enchant is % based rather than based on the shitty point scheme. How many % avoidance does 25 defense beyond the cap translate to? (Hint: 4% if you have a shield and can block, 3% if you don't...)
You also get 2% stamina from the rune.
