CS works better then dex for crits and yet people are not buying CS armors.
INT just as Dex has defensive purposes which is why they are hard to compare.
cs is capped at 1 per tier, but hm is capped at 5 per tier. i think hm should be given much more credit. the int defensive boost isnt needed since there are relatively few casting monsters (compared to melee monsters)
if there happens to be an int mob who crits you, you can take the hit and just heal yourself. keep in mind that int provides a + defense boost as well, but that's hardly noticeable on heavy armors and negligible on robes since they already have high int defense and just adding "insult to injury" also keep in mind the relatively few numbers of casting mobs

anyways...
