I'll bite

It's 4DEX/AGI and 4Haste vs 5% Haste, or 6% should you acquire +2 Raider's.

I'll start with evasion, my naked THF can get a pretty high evade rate on any non NM mob, evasion rate caps at 80%. AGI also helps with Trick Attack, though you should be using +AGI in a Trick attack macro, not full time.
Same applies to the DEX, same enhancement but for Sneak attack only. It also adds +crit rate until dDEX is capped, which is likely to be so with cruor buffs and RR Atma. It also offers +2 accuracy. Even if you need +2 accuracy, it won't beat the loss of Haste from Turban.

Assuming Turban put you up to 25%, moving from 24% to 25% would be

25/75*100 is a 1.8% increase in your DPS.

So it's not specifically as good a choice as you think it to be, so it would be room for criticism.

Yes, remember, each point of AGI raises your weapon's DMG by 1, but keep in mind Trick attack is a 1minute recast ability without merits, your regular DPS will by far contain the higher ratio of DMG. That said, you could just gear swap between the two to maximise.
