Doesn't seem to be a huge impact with that.

4 tests with each stat set, not a huge sample size i know, but i doubt the results would change that much

Strength on the other hand, I can see doing a lot more for you.
Shield Oath PLD is the worst case scenario when looking at DET's benefits. It's the lowest DPS form of tanking, or of anything in the game really. If a fight allows you to use Sword Oath for part of it, or you have Storm's Eye getting put up, or if you were a WAR, that DET will translate into real damage a bit higher.
