It's also worth noting that "Har Har! Moar Dps! Har Har!" Is not the only reason for why slaying accessories are sometimes preferable. I mainly Tank as Pld, and most people's instinct is to use pure Vitality on a Pld given that they have less health than Warriors (especially in Defiance); however, people who main Pld know first hand that Pld's have the lowest enmity gen of all 3 tanks. Scaling Str accessories allows a Pld to somewhat compensate for this discrepancy because Flash, RoH, and even Clemency scale with Str, not Vit.

Currently, I am running with full Vit, but when I chose to run with Str I do so knowing that I'm doing it at a trade off. I'm exchanging a tiny bit of HP out of my already more than sufficient Hp pool for increased enmity generation and greater returns off of my skill set. The fact that this also boosts a bit of my Dps is just a nice sidebar, not the goal.
