This may be a question for maintankadin, but here goes. If I am precisely at the CTC cap of 102.4% at the beginning of a fight, and then I have a string of dodges or parries, will I now be below the cap so that the next swing might hit me full force? If so, is it worthwhile to go slightly above the cap?

the 2.4% is partly extra boss hit - partly DR

the strings reducing your chances is already in the 102.4%
this makes the last few points worth less because there only there for rare occasions - but then there the "block capped" reliable damage ones so there worth taking

anything more is a total waste though

You are misunderstanding how percentages work. If you flip a coin 99 times and it came up heads every time, the chance it will come up tails on the next toss is still only 50%.

Getting a string of avoidance doesn't change the attacks after. Full combat table coverage means EVERY attack is subject to being missed, avoided or blocked. Nothing normally changes that.
