If bosses are taking "forever" to die, you might want to talk to the damage dealers first. >.>

As for stance usage, VIT accessories + DPS stance is often going to be more DPS than STR accessories + tank stance, since tank stances impose a flat 20% reduction of damage, which tends to result in more lost damage than is gained by the addition of STR accessories. WARs are in a better place in this regard since they have Unchained and Inner Beast, which ignore the tank damage penalty (but they're also able to swap in and out more easily than DRK and PLD can).

That being said, if your tank is in full VIT, that means you have more globals with which to do damage as healer before you need to heal them, so it shouldn't result in significantly longer kill times if you're doing DPS as much as you expect them to.
