Then even more reason why PLD's should not stack STR. The only benifit you get out of it is a slight increase in DPS and enmity, and if enmity build is not a problem on full VIT, it then only comes down to one benefit (the damage). You are proving my point by stating this.

PLD = VIT > STR
WAR/DRK = STR > VIT

That is how it works.
Actually, you have no point.

Sword Oath is far from stupid if you meet two requirements: 1) You're not losing Enmity 2) Healer can handle your incoming damage. I've never (on both my PLD and my WAR) lost aggro to any DPS if I was actually attempting to maintain enmity. So what are YOU even saying? You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

As for your second bit, it's more than just a "slight" increase in DPS. You keep breaking the tank jobs into two groups, but the principle holds true for all three. If you're able to survive the worst attack that the encounter throws at you then there's no reason not to swap in more STR providing you're comfortable with your healer(s). It doesn't matter that WAR or DRK benefit more from the STR due to having AoE DPS and self heals that rely on damage done. All three tanks benefit from STR through increased damage output and as a result of that, increased enmity.
