In my experience, a lot of tanks don't really use cooldowns aggressively on trash pulls (there's a sort of DPS mentality that you save them for the bosses, if I had to guess, which is sort of the opposite of what you should do as a tank in most dungeons), and STR tanking does tend to require fairly aggressive cooldown usage. VIT tanking doesn't really need to be that aggressive with them except for a few significant pulls from what I've seen, though. And that's where the difference is really.
Nah. Very few bosses require cd's even when tanking them in DPS stance. The bosses in Fractal hit harder than the ones in Neverreap, but the hard hitting skills have cast bars so it doesn't really matter. You should be using cd's on big trash pulls.

Before anyone takes this as misinformation, it's only self heals that scale off strength.
