I officially understand why everyone thinks WAR is so bad.

Amas already made the obvious point about going to town on content which you overgear. By all means, go STR there.

However, when you tank something actually challenging, 6k HP is NOT enough (what did you have before going full VIT?). You'll die before you get to even use self heals.. Or let's say you do get inner beast off once or twice.. then you die before they refresh. 7500 isn't really enough either, at least not to match PLD -- That's why people say PLD is the better tank.

As for Overpower, try putting +1 on relic. Every bit helps. Though not a huge difference in this case. I've not had trouble holding agro during AE fights. Internal Release + Berserk helps... And Maim if situation allows. And there's Mega Potion of Strength to go really all out.


Edit: Full VIT personally, if that wasn't obvious. Have not yet done crafted jewelry, but that's one place where can trade 5 VIT for 10 STR each piece. That's something I'd like to do eventually, but not put in the effort yet. At 1-to-1 you always take VIT.
