Multiple questions about partying and hwo it works.

1- If I party with one person, does his level matter in any shape or form for myself?

Your levels determine how the experience gets shared, first post explains how.

"

2- Is there a range limit for each of us for the bonus item quantity?

3- Is there a range limit for each of us for the bonus exp?

4- Is there a range limit for each of us for the bonus stats on monsters?

No to all three, he only has to be in the area for all the bonuses to apply. Some people abuse this by parking level 1 mule accounts at the entrance.

5- Does all of these answers also apply if there's a dead member?

As long as he is still in the map, yes.

I'm not sure if dead party members still leech experience away from other people. Since they can't gain any experience, they shouldn't, but who knows...

Just to add to that, experience is only shared with other players who are near you (roughly two screens). This most likely also means that you don't share with dead characters (since dead characters don't gain XP while dead). Monsters are still made harder by players elsewhere on the level.

As a point of clarification, I'm interested in figuring out how Blind interacts with the evasion roll to negate a crit.

I would assume that blind applies.

#10 which skills are affected by Skill duration nodes and how is damage calculated for skills after. Especially interested how it affect bleed,poison arrow, burning arrow.

Any skill that has an effect with a duration is affected. Damage over time effects have their duration increased, meaning they will do more damage over the course of their full duration. They will still do the same amount of damage per second though.

For purposes of calculating stun while dual wielding, are Dual Strike and Cleave counted as one hit for the total damage or two hits for roughly half damage?

What about Double Strike?

For the purposes of stun, Dual Strike and Cleave count as one hit, Double Strike counts as two.

wrong, http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/13701/page/8#p583940

not sure if this has been asked yet, but in relation to Resolute Technique, I presume it overrides an opponent's evasion rating, but does it also override an opponent's shield block chance?

No block and evasion are differents tests.

in other words, "always hits" can also be "blocked" have i gotten that right?

yep

Hopefully I can get this question answered here, I'm sure it's been asked before.

ahem;

Say I have iron reflexes. All of my evasion is of course converted to armour but is that before or after bonuses to evasion from passive nodes?

That's about the umpteenth time someone asks that...

When you have Iron Reflexes, all your Evasion basically turns into Evasion Converted To Armor. This value is simultaneously affected by % increases to Evasion as well as % increases to Armor.
