If you can guarantee this will never happen: Go STR. But be sure if I am one of the DPS in the group I will flame you down cause of having STR instead of buying time for Healer to ress DPS (which are still making more dmg then STR tank) and avoid a wipe.

lol are you seriously bullshitting yourself to the point where you think healers outDPS STR tanks ? Not even close man. The only healer who can possibly outDPS a tank is the WHM during big pulls but not for very long because Holy costs a buttload of MP. And even with this, I've yet to see any WHM outDPS me as WAR/DRK on big pulls, and I'm not even doing DF roulettes with full STR, I'm generally wearing 3 STR and 2 VIT accessories (with my 35 attribute points into STR) which makes me have around 17k HP which is even more HP than what we had with full VIT at i170. I only switch to full STR when I trust the healer and it makes me have a bit more than 15k HP which is plenty enough for expert dungeons. And I'll just add that if your healer has to stop DPS when you're wearing STR accessories, the problem isn't your accessories, it's you. A STR tank shouldn't prevent a healer from DPSing if he plays its job properly.

I also don't remember on what topic it was, but I remember a post from someone doing maths to prove that a tank gaining DPS from STR accessories is a superior party-wise DPS gain than what a healer would gain in DPS with a VIT tank (1 to 2 GCDs before having to heal). People should stop bullshitting themselves, tank DPS > Healer DPS. The only exception is if you're a PLD on a big pull, because you do no damage.
