Yep, it pretty much comes down to getting all the strength in you can.

It's actually more effective to swap the bonus points before you swap accessories. Bonus swaps Vit:Str 1:1, the accessories are 21:18 (7:6)
Of course you're probably dropping parry so it's a bit better than 7:6, but it's food for thought.

One important thing is that you make sure to minimize your accuracy to the cap (or just below if you use food) to make sure you're maximizing dps secondaries. I had to run significantly over cap for a while and finally being able to swap down ended up being a fairly large improvement.
