Low Blow/Reprisal procs when you parry. Dark Dance increases parry rate. So, under the effect of DD, it's more likely you'll see LB resets and a Reprisal proc. Not 100% like RI, but an increase non the less, and it has no stat weight cost as it's just an ability in your kit.

Also Parry (the secondary stat) has been explored for 2+ years now. We even had a rise of a few DEX PLDs in Final Coil. It's a trash stat and even if it did scale better it'd still be unreliable and unpredictable. That said, it's a secondary stat, so take what you can get unless you've got a choice between 2 identical ilvl pieces.
