Are using Eso's for STR ACCs worth it?

It sounds more like you were undergeared as compared to your two asshole ninjas and they either didn't know how to use their skills or didn't bother. Esoterics should be used for left side gear first, especially the weapon if you don't have it yet. That in and of itself will go miles in helping you keep hate. Though I prefer STR, VIT gear is fine for tanks if you want to use it. It's what we're built to use; STR accessories are a meta built by hardcore raiding.

Don't let people like that get to you. Just learn to enjoy kicking assholes back into the DPS queue. :3
