    The reason that some are missing as to why a Druid should get first priority is that they don't have as many options.  I am a Pally tank with Adamantite Figurine, which has 32 defense rating and Dabiri's Enigma, which gives 30.  Yes the "use" capability of the figurine kinda sux cuz it's just armor, but Dabiri's 125 block rating for 15 sec rocks.
    The 32 defense on the figurine is worth 32 x .067= 2.14% avoidance. The 38 dodge on the watch is worth 38 x .053 = 2.01% avoidance.  See the problem? If you are a Pally working towards that all-important uncrushable status, you are slightly closer to that with the figurine because it has more of the reliable avoidance you need.  The "use" effect of Dabiri has a long cooldown, so you can't chain it with the watch "use" effect to be reliably uncrushable.  Some crushable Pallies may still prefer the watch to the figurine because the "use" effect is way better and the reliable avoidance difference is small.
    Now, since a druid doesn't get the same benefit from defense due to no blocking or parry, dodge is worth a helluva lot more to them, relative to other options.  Dodge is their only avoidance man, give em a break!  They don't need to think about tradeoffs with other stats because there really isn't one, and they have fewer trinkets that will help them at all (Dabiri's won't, for example).
    IF the Pally is already uncrushable, however, that means they are at 100%+ avoidance/block against L73 with holy shield up.  IF they are that far and are trying to replace block with dodge to reduce overall damage, THEN the Pally has a near equal need IMHO.
    I know less about warriors, but since they become uncrushable much quicker than Pallies do, they might also be able to make a good case.  The Pally (and maybe the warrior?) will be giving up a little threat generation due to reduced blocking though.  Rogues - of course you do a disservice to your guild if you roll on this against a tank.
