Extra STR plays into PLD mitigation through Shield Block mitigation also. PLD and WAR have the same effective HP. Shield Oath -20% damage is the same as having 25% more HP in terms of how much damage you can take before dying. I don't understand how people still don't get this. Any gear setup a WAR can use a PLD can use as well, and can in fact survive better because their cooldowns are better for survival. Do your parse again with PLD using the same exact gear as the WAR and with 30 STR allocation or whatever you had and then make an argument about DPS difference.
