WAR Correct Stat build.

It is not about threat.
You are not doing something sound because there has to be some logic to it, no?
Sure you could stack piety, with the purpose of...um... more flashes! but then again....right...
So what logic there is to having points to DEX? Higher block rate (when we don't have a shield) and parry (where you have a dedicated stat called "Parry" that gives higher return)?
If you bothered researching around, you'd find conclusive evidence backed up by statistics that even on PLD, a job that can benefit from both shield AND parry.. the returns from stacking DEX is really abysmal.
Moreover, if you bother looking at your gear, AF, AF2, allagan pieces for WAR.. do you see a single DEX there? Use a clue.

Debating STR vs. VIT makes more sense since this is the primary stats for WAR (if you have enough ACC, and stacking on parry as much).
Rather than a pity argument, have an open mind, listen, learn from others and move on.
I like your spirit of wanting to try things out; I really do, I wish more players like you rather than going by cookie-cutter solutions provided by others who most of the time haven't got a clue!
Having said that, please research, ask, listen, and then make a judgement rather than randomly trying out things where it not only wastes your time but others as well for trying something pointless.

I have asked in the past. All I got was 'lol no, research already done.' At the time nothing was done to see the effects of putting DEX on a WAR. Sure there is testing on DEX, for PLD, in Phase 3. Effectively no research on WAR and DEX that I could find at the time and was usually directed to Valk's testing. I must ask, since you sound as though you are in the know in regards to finding all this testing, where are do you go for testing results? It sounds like you have done some testing yourself before and not another cookie-cutter.

PS The op was complaining about threat after going from 1str:2dex to full VIT. I have no STR at all, yet never have issues with threat when I had similar gear. So yes, in the OP's case threat is a pertinent topic here.

To answer you, I'd honestly personally go full STR since all your acc will be VIT (if not for VIT, at least for parry which helps big time).
And no, I don't have any threat issues, except turn 2 and mostly because I miss some attacks and missing a botcher block with 2 x BLMs in your PT with full crafted gear melded x 5 & relic+1 is... ^^;;
Reason I stuck to full VIT is because I'm making it easier on healers... I did some math in my head, but I'd have higher EHP by having full STR than full VIT.

So pre-coil, full STR no argument there. VIT is a joke and that is without relic or relic+1.
In coil, it depends; if you have an understanding FC & healer go STR.
I barely able do WAR on coil as my FC keep nagging me to do pld which is not needed >_>
