In 1.x the term "miss" was used even on attacks against oneself if the enemy missed. (They do not have perfect hit chance.) Calling all enemy missed attacks as "dodges" if personal, and all non-personal dodges/misses as "misses" was just a change in display since ARR. Try aggroing in front of a higher level caster mob, pop your dodge buffs (DA-DD / Featherfoot) and see how effective that is. Now try blinding the enemy and see how much more you "dodge" (sadly w/o triggering Haymaker).

It's possible that I've just been very unlucky for the past 2 years, and that Shade Shift, when still the guaranteed Perfect Dodge (in 2.x), was only allowed to trigger on physical attacks despite this not being shown on the tooltip... but I really doubt it.
