This is also why I searched the forum for numbers on 60 PLD and well it was not pointing out that STR is so much better (but increasing the group DPS by 200 and for this my calculation is accurate) for the lose of VIT.
If someone has better numbers to see: I am happy to view them (cause I am still not saying STR is crap I just do not see the BIG ADVANTAGE that everyone is talking about).

Edit:
Just for reference (number 1):

(Not that someone says: You need to be 60 PLD to compare numbers....)
It really depends on your mindset. In raid content right now it would be more beneficial to get that extra 200 DPS in comparison to 2k HP. Now if your talking running 4man content then it's going to speed up a run a little but otherwise it would mostly be unnoticed. Most of the 4 mans have extremely low DPS checks that are easily attainable by the DPS alone. Savage is a different story. Additionally, Paladin does benefit from a STR build less than a WAR does. For WAR it actually synergiezes with alot of our self heals to provide additional HP benefits outside of the damage increase. DRK has a decent DMG toolkit too so the difference is also more pronounced there.

STR builds are fine when leveling, but when your reach cap is where they really start to shine. They only get better as you continue to gear yourself better on your left hand slots due to the natural HP increase you get off of just those pieces alone. At 60 I would glady trade 10-15% DPS for 1-2 k HP as long as I was in a reasonable range for my healers. Again, this is just my preference when it comes to 4 man dungeons. They can really be rolled through with any accessories.
