I have had epic boss fights where I had to go at him a second time due to excessive missing causing me to be just shy of dealing enough damage (when I had more then enough damage to win). I have had anywhere between 1000 and 300 health left from the boss beyond lvl 43 several times (my record is the boss having 5 health left, 5!!!). So I agree the dodging is annoying.

What I have noticed is that the game balances the misses, but it balances them unfairly, making them good when it does not matter, but making them bad when hitting is essential.

Against bosses this likely occurs after your 5 main knights have been beaten and you are going in an hour an a half later for the kill with 2 more. On top of always special attacking twice, the boss will usually dodge the first attack and up to 2 more right afterwards. I feel this happens to me far to often then to just be a coincidence or bad luck.

Against players I have found that if the person is many levels below me, or equipped with 2+ epic armors maxed out, they will miss me repeatedly, but I lose or win simply due to an overwhelming difference in strength (the missing had no effect on the outcome). However, if level and strength are close, then I am far more likely to miss.
