Epic dodge appears not to be working at the moment. I tested on PGCC by letting a dragon beat up on me. You can see from the logs below e-dodge triggers in the first round and then there are a number of rounds following where it never triggers. I've tested fighting numerous other creatures and also other players in PGCC and same thing is happening consistently across all fights.
Further, the new instant attacks like whirlwind, elemental strike and divine smite all ignore epic dodge if they hit. Worse, even if they miss they remove the benefit of epic dodge from all subsequent attacks in the round allowing the first successful hit in the round to effectively bypass epic dodge.

Re: Epic dodge not working
We haven't adjusted anything about Epic Dodge recently, it's strange that the feat stops working randomly. Perhaps a Beamdog issue?
Instant attacks ignoring Epic Dodge is a known issue at the moment. Most of the feat's functionality is hardcoded, so our options to add custom script interactions are somewhat limited. It's on my list though, and I'll look into it when I have more time :)

Re: Epic dodge not working
It's because the dragon was spamming knockdown it looks like. Notice how a knockdown hit once but was resisted and you took no damage? That's epic dodge kicking in. If knockdowns used, hit or miss I'm pretty sure it stops epic dodge from working for the rest of the round.
