depends on your view of DP, the effects of regen.  To me, its you
recover your wind MUCH faster.  To me DP is the ability to dodge blows,
get minor cuts and bruises, etc...  So that up until you die, you are
just juking and getting tired till you screw up and the last blow is
the one that actually carves you a new oriface.  Regen doesn't heal
back crit wounds, i.e. damaged livers, destroyed kidneys, etc...
Might make an exception if the person waits a year or two, but if
someone gets ham strung or an arrow in the lung, that isn't going to
heal overnight, DP is much different than your ability take a true hit.
No matter who you are,if someone serious hits you with a battle axe,
then you are gonna if not be dead, then SERIOUSLY wounded.  However he
might not hit you immediately, you get tired from dodging, taking it
on the shield, etc..
