Turning DRK into a tank was a huge mistake.

I don't know, I still like having VIT gear other than STR while tanking, I've been on the healers side and I can say that it's a relief when I don't have to babysit the tank the whole dungeon, you can focus better and have more room to fix team mistakes, otherwise you are like *Heal, heal, heal, heal, OMG tank almost died... HEAL, HEAL, HEAL! darn, DPS didn't move away from AoE in time... MEGA HEAL!* I find healing more stressing than tanking. :P

I can see the point of using STR gear if you know your treammates and the fight really well, but I use the Duty Finder most of the time, so I guess that's why I prefer to have more room for mistakes.
