If I tried, I'd lose in other stats that are a bit more important than iLevel, like accuracy. Can't hurt what I can't hit. Too many people treat iLevel like it's the only stat to worry about when it's not. It's just a representation of the average level of your gear, not the level of the stats on that gear. Maybe if people could see past all that we'd have iLevel in the examine window.
Outside of critical things like needing your silence to not miss(and really only in coil), the dex boost on higher ilvl pieces will give you more dps than the accuracy you'd lose. Even if you had a lower ilvl piece with crit on it, the dex bonus on the higher ilvl piece can trump it.
