This is a great guide for beginners but I don't think tanks should put points into Str over Vit. There are 2 reasons:
1. Vitality will help you more as a tank. Your job as a tank is to take hits, not DPS.
2. Strength increases your DPS at thresholds. So if you only put 5 points in strength but need 20 strength to get to the next threshold, those points are wasted.

Putting points into the right places isn't crucial if you have gear to make up for it but 30 points of vitality is a difference of 450 HP.
