i90 Tank accessories will give you the most HP, but give you very, very little damage.

i70 Pentamelded accessories essentially give you ~75% of the damage, ~55% of the HP, and slightly more mitigation than any other option.

Basically:

i90 VIT: Survivability 10, Damage 1
i90 STR: Survivability 1, Damage 10
i70 Crafted: Survivability 7, Damage 7

I would against i90 DPS accessories. If my healers are really good, can I tank every encounter in the game wearing Monk Accessories? Probably. But using that logic, you could also argue that if your DPS is really good, you shouldn't have to wear DPS accessories.

The bottom line is: Which set will give you the highest chance at success and the lowest risk of failure? I highly doubt that i90 STR accessories and +30 STR is the answer to this question for all encounters.
