In HW its just a e-peen ruler for wannabe dps to think they can deal damage while take it as well. STR is only good for aggro and damage now as parry and block are fixed to the gear you have.
Also keep in mind that strength also increases the power of each tank's self healing resources too. I'm a big fan of my meaty 6k Equilibriums. In the case of multi-hit tank busters, that extra strength actually makes you way more survivable than vit ever could, so long as you're on it with your cooldowns.
