I have an integrated Intel HD 1000, It supports up to directx11.
Intel Core i3 2.53ghz
4gb ram

When playing strife, it gives the option to use the directx9 driver or the directx11 driver, now when I normally adjust settings I assumed having the lower directx would make things run better, Like when I ran dota 2 on directx 8 instead of 9.

But when I said "Why the hell not" I changed the setting to directx11 and the game runs a hell of a lot better now, I have it on full resolution and on medium graphics, and get a high framerate the whole game, even in the midst of a battle.

I am downloading dota 2 right now, since League's lack of east coast servers is pissing me off, I am trying to enjoy other moba's til then. As people know Dota 2 is heavier on the requirements then League (I run league on medium/high with 70fps) And reading on some forum post gave a startup command to force it to use directx 8, which I assumed would help performance, but really the whole experience is me playing a game my laptop clearly can't handle.

I want to enjoy dota, I don't care much for graphics, but when you turn down the resolution on Dota 2, and this one other option, everything is blurry, fuzzy and pixelated to the point its painful to look at and hard to tell whats going on.

I don't know if Dota has directx 11 or not, but I would assume if I keep with 9, I would get maybe better performance?

I want to play it comfortably, I don't need fancy settings on, but I need to see whats going on.

So the question being, Would running a game with directx 9 run better or worse then running it with directx11 with the SAME settings?

Depends on the optimization, some games run badly on DX9 (L.A. Noire or Deus Ex HR), some games run badly on DX11 (Batman), and some games have the same performance no matter which API is used.

Dota 2 should have DX11 by now, if the Source 2 build is now public. Still, it depends on your own experience, trying out won't hurt.
