However, Paladin does have more reason to go full VIT than the other two tanks because they can Stoneskin themselves, have Divine Veil, and cast interruption is apparently based on what % of your max HP you've been hit for. Warriors arguably have reason to stack VIT because of how Defiance and Thrill of Battle work but it's still better for them to stack STR for Bloodbath and Equilibrium, and Dark Knights actually benefit in some ways from stacking STR over VIT because of Souleater and Living Dead.

It's kind of funny to me how two of the three tank jobs actually work better with their in-built kits if they use DPS accessories. And morbidly hilarious that using tank accessories on one of them is actually a considerable detriment.
