ok, so which should I go for more? I'm at the point where parry gives me just a fraction more avoidance overall, (like 10 = .23% and 10 dodge = .22%) Should I get some parry to even it out, or is dodge still better for some reason i can't remember?

I think that Dodge gets hurt less by diminishing returns than parry, don't quote me though. And yeah, the ICC thing is something you should take into account, but I'm not sure if that's set in stone either.

People who don't know what they are talking about should not give advice...
The ICC thing is a flat 20% dodge reduction after DR. It will have zero impact on how you choose Dodge vs Parry.
Between Dodge and Parry, you should choose whichever gives you more avoidance. To determine that, open up your Character sheet and look at your Dodge% and Parry%. Subtract 10 from each of them (that is 5% base chance and 5% from talents, both of which are not affected by diminishing returns). For example, lets say your character sheet says you have 25% dodge chance and 19% parry chance. Subtract 10 from each leaves 15% dodge and 9% parry. You now need to compare these two numbers, the magic ratio is 1.88. So 9% times 1.88 is 16.92%. That means Dodge will continue to give more avoidance per rating up until 16.92%. Since you are only at 15% dodge, this means dodge is currently better for you.

I say go for parry Because Dodge is getting nerfed in ICC

a very, very common (2/3 ppl that answered this question) misconception, and completely incorrect. icecrown radiance means nothing when comparing dodge vs. parry vs. defense vs. anything else.

The only advantage of Parry over Dodge (with ICC radiance) is when your dodge is under 20% before radiance... which I don't think is going to happen normally.

a warrior under 20% dodge will not be tanking in icecrown citadel...
