Please note that dodge is !@#$ed only in ICC.
And then again, when you go into ICC - even 10 man - your gear should probably allow you to reach 24 - 25% passive dodge raid buffed (Chill of the Throne included). And this should happen while
already
stacking stamina.
Other than that, the answer is
YES
, stamina stacking (in sockets and enchants) is
the way to continue
in ICC. Because Chill of the Throne is applied after the diminishing returns are calculated, stacking agility (in sockets / enchants) will result in nothing more than a severe waste of item points, as dodge will probably suffer more than 35-40% loss in efficiency. Dodge will be there naturally on new higher level gear with more agility.
Marrowgar already hits like a truck in 10 man normal ICC for instance (~18K melee and saber lash, I had ~33K armor), you'll get a melee or a saber lash every second or so if you are the Main Tank. Count the fact that often you'll have to pass through Coldflame to establish aggro again after a Bone Storm. With the little avoidance left in ICC, I found myself often dying because of slow reaction time from healers used to so much dodges and misses (and I had ~54K HP buffed in that raid formula).

Yeah stuff hits hard... In 25 man Deathwhisper the
adds
hit for 35k melee when they're empowered. I'll be stacking stam.
When those are empowered you shouldn't be near them anyway :S

I was worried about dodge so I bought a few agility gems to try and balance...I was always stacking stam before but was concerned about aggro. I have 9% expertise but in groups of 4 or more mobs, I always manage to lose one. (But then again, my groups never know how to mark or assist the tank...) But I still assumed it was my fault, and put Agi on anyway.
Even in ICC, I'd still have like 21% dodge which isnt horrible. But my GS is only at like 2350, so I have a long ways to go anyway.
