Method 1

Since you have access to Illustrator, the easiest way to do a dashed stroke is to create the stroked shape in Illustrator and copy/paste it into Photoshop.

Since you’re unfamiliar with AI, here’s a quick step-by-step:

1. Use the Rectangle Tool (M) to create your shape:
   
   
2. With your shape selected, Effect ⇒ Stylize ⇒ Round Corners...
   
3. With your shape still selected, Open your Stroke palette and set the Dashed Line attributes to your liking.
   
4. You now have a shape with a dashed stroke. Copy it and paste into Photoshop. If Photoshop asks how you want to paste, choose “as pixels”.
   

Note on above: Illustrator’s display will likely anti-alias your shape. If you screengrab and then paste into Photoshop, you will still have “blurry” problems. If you copy and paste the object itself, you will not have this issue. You should also keep your shape dimensions in whole-pixel increments to avoid Photoshop anti-aliasing when it pastes the pixels.

Method 2

Pulling in a vector from illustrator is the best way to go like Farray said. Sometimes I will take a screen shot of my object selected and paste and cut it out with the selection. Unfortunately it is rasterized and not customizable.
