As for the difference between INT and AGI, I am a BIG believer in the INT line. Our primary job is NOT personal DPS, but rather buffing and debuffing. The AGI line is centered ENTIRELY around personal DPS. However, being that most all of our buffs are group buffs, the INT line effectively increases 2 group buffs, gives us another attack which boosts our skills, and generally buffs the group as a whole. Overall, I am willing to bet that a raid benefits more overall from the INT line than the AGI line in a melee group.
Further reinforcing the point about even personal DPS, that poison proc (which is a terrible DoT and is really bad for CC classes since it's a long, slow DoT) only goes off if you actually hit the mob. If your melee skills are too low to hit the mob, then you have now not only buffed your group less, but you aren't even doing more DPS yourself.

Wow dude, you have no clue.
First off if you are referring to a scout dps group, most scouts (non utility classes are sitting around the soft cap without your DPS mode. add the inquisitor dps mode and your buff without putting any aa points into your dps mode will put them in or over the hard cap. So putting aa points into this line has most everything going into Deminishing returns.
as far as the weapon skill goes, hit rates are bugged in T8 and as long as you are at the cap (450 @ lvl80) you wont notice any difference. add to the fact you can always bust off a solo HO and there is a ton of items that also add to +slashing +piercing. Boon in T8 has become less important.
If you are talking MT group dirge its still a waste do to the fact the you can hit the hard cap if you have your DPS mode up the Coercer DPS mode and hopefully you have the BOW and NECK Adornment adding 24dps there. Weapon skill in this group can come from multiple sources.
3 healer set up (warden) Tank (gaurdian) all add to weapon skills.
your much better off gaining the cloaked attack (bump) to open you up to faster damage with your cloaked attacks. and the poison attacks will add to your dps.
You based your information like you where the only one in your group buffing and not taking deminishing returns from caps into concideration.
