As it stands (and I am using str accessories currently because neither EX primal needs more than 38k hp right now anyway) I literally never lose threat on anything, and I gain a solid 700 dps. Win win for me.

More power to you, then. I agree with you. But there are people like the guy I quoted in my last past, who think that as DPS jobs get more STR and tanks get less that our damage in relation to DPS damage will not increase. To me, that's fine. We are tanks not DPS, and raid balance is calculated based on DPS damage output and main tanks' DPS output in VIT gear using Enmity combos with gear that's 15% weaker than the minimum ilvl, to account for non optimal rotations, mistakes, some deaths, etc.

So anything extra, like STR accessories, and DPS stance dancing is icing really, and only necessary for speed-clears and world firsts, or trying to beat with minimum iLVL (which SE does not advise but say is technically possible).
