Comparing a Dodge to a shoulder charge or a grenade is comparing apples to oranges. Compare the dodge to the barricade and rift and that's an accurate comparison.
Dodge is easily the best class ability, hands down. It's the only one of the three that can actively be used in combat, and isn't just for hiding or holding down a point a [i]little[/i] better.
Also, gotta love how OP specifically addresses combination blow and other powerful melee abilities and claims how they aren't viable because of the new meta, and then complains about how titans have shoulder charge, which is also a melee. Shoulder charge is only good for surprise kills, and even then it's only available on 1/3 of all Titan loadouts, unlike Hunter Dodge which is available on every loadout.
Hunters are the single most popular class for PvP, and there's a damn good reason.

I compare them because bungie has created the classes with these abilities as their center. When I DO compare grenades to grenades and melee to melee what do you get? Warlock grenades are stronger and Titan grenades are too. Titan melees are stronger and warlock melees are stronger too so if you want apples to apples there you go.
