Just to clarify:

yes it is...but the stormshroud add dodge and crit and on one piece its +chance to hit. These are things all effected by agility so ss stats are basically just as good....
+hit is not affected by agility, but it is very important for melee in the end-game raids. Against a level 62-63 elite, you'll have a much higher miss-rate; probably around 10% or higher. Therefore, +hit gear is very good to have.
Think of plus hit like +defense. It has stuff in common with agility, but agility does not affect them. Agility is great for a tank, but it is not a substitute for +defense. In the same way, agility is great for a rogue and a hunter, but it is not a substitute for +hit. Miss a tranq shot in MC, and some boss fights can get much harder.
