The AF2 Legs and Shoes represent the largest sacrifice of DPS for a gain of accuracy of all the possible trade-offs, overmelded i70 items included.
Melded or not, i70 is just flat-out worse than i90. I am not trading real INT for someone's educated guess at effective INT. An item of a given level has a certain amount of room to allocate primary and secondary stats to. I also refuse to believe the amount of DET, CRIT, etc. allowed on an item of a given item level is completely arbitrary. I imagine it is based on formulas and calculations done by the game designers. The choice we have in gear is to decide which secondary stats benefit our job and/or goals the most. But i70 will never beat i90 because it has fewer stat points allocated to work with, even after melds.

It is a very risky thing to trade a sure thing (real INT, more total secondary stats (even if they aren't all in what you want most)) for a forum user's guess.
