Dodges ALL physical attacks. Its no good vs. magic, infact, its equal to the PLD's Invincible. Except one doesnt get hit and the other gets hit for 0. In my experience using Perfect Dodge, i think is one of the most life saving abilities when combined with a warp item of a sort. I have a panic macro that goes:
/ja "Perfect Dodge" <me> /wait 1 /item "Instant Warp" <me> or /equip main "Warp Cudgel"
One of the problems about using a warp cudgel is that it has a cool off after you equip, and long cast time. so I would suggest equiping cudgel before hitting Perfect Dodge if at all possible.
Humurous instances where I have used Perfect Dodge and I die anyway, picking the Castle Vahzl coffer for AF. *pick* *pick* *pick* *open* woot AF! The Ahriman begins casting Flood on Michimeow. The Ahriman casts stun on Michimeow. Perfect dodge + cudgel combo. Michimeow uses Warp Cudgel ( I had it in hand figuring i wasnt gonna fight sh*t anyway). Michimeow uses Warp Cudgel. The Ahriman casts Flood on Michimeow. Michimeow dies lol. So i was dead in Lower Jeuno at the time in front of mog, but got AF woots. (that was my 3rd failed attempt at coming out of that place alive, but w/ somthing to show atleast)

Well, I hadn't got into the Coffer Hunting yet, but I think this may be REALLY useful to do what JetStream mentioned when a Mimic spawns...before I pick the lock as my THF/WHM, use Stoneskin and Blink and start picking.
Suddenly, a Mimic pops up. Perfect Dodge + Logout
Before you say "WTF are you doing?!", hear me out.
If you are poisoned by the Mimic, the Stoneskin absorbs the dmg soooo well that you can actually rest while poisoned, so you're still logging.
If this works, think of the crapload of CP you'll save on those Instant Warp scrolls!
If u get aggroed and need to zone but the zone is too far and u think you will get killed running into other mobs heres an easy way to save your life. all u have to do is cast perfect dodge and that same second log off (temp. or not) and if u get the time right and dont disrupt the logging off then you can be signed off and when you got back your logged on Its risky but if ur in a middle of a cave or something lost and dont know were to zone this comes in handy. i tried it before and it worked. you jus have to wait about a minute before re-entering the game cuz the mob could be waiting.
