All,
I don't see this anywhere, but is it possible to offset labels from their points using the Javascript API LabelLayer or LabelClass?

Its possible by both, but you need to set the x&y offset in the TextSymbol Class and not within the layer or LabelClass
LabelClass has a labelPlacement property that can be used to control the position. Not sure if this is what you are after or an additional offset beyond these positions.
I don't think there is a universal way to do it in the layer, but maybe via the TextSymbol in a renderer. Not quite sure, but could be the way to go.
Thank you Owen Earley and Rene Rubalcava -
Good to know those properties are there - but I don't know if it solves the issue of overlapping labels - unless there is a conflict detection that can be used with the label placement priorities as per ArcMap...
Hmmm...
Unfortunately, there is nothing anywhere near the sophistication of ArcMap dynamic label options in the JS API - especially when using Maplex labelling.
