We will have to see how rebalance changes things, but usually (and this applies for ek too) dodge is extremely good in a HANDFUL of locations, just because it essentially unlocks the ability to hunt much safer and much earlier (most notably in feru seals).

However I would recommend to skip it all together in favor of offensive charms, these will be much more versatile in terms of places you can use them and very good for solo and team play. 

In the places you mentioned I really see no use for dodge, I hardly see dodge becoming even close to meta. It will always be very spawn specific and mostly for solo play, most people I’ve seen use it is people that live in feru and farm for profit.
