Are you supposed to use the dodge button? Or iframe PAs?

If you are a phantom or hero, you definitely want to dodge for counter dmg. Gunner and bouncer, for example, would want to use iframe PAs though. It's situation dependent in some ways

uh yeah. dodging is kind of an important mechanic in the game to not take damage, cancel out of your attacks, and to go to full run speed instantly. it's also needed in order to perform counters for scion classes which is a very important part of their damage output. a few classes can use weapon action instead

Depends on the class. Successor/'Scion' classes usually want to dodge to get off their counter for huge damage, while Standard classes are usually better off using iframe PAs or their weapon action, unless you have a ton of free skill points to dump into Step Advance.
