Who the hell aims for Lammy and Crystaline Blade as their endgame Kunark tanking weapons? That's ridiculous. Without proccing weapons, you are not going to hold aggro. Anything that out-damages you will constantly take aggro, and noone will be able to slow the mobs until you've beaten them for twenty seconds. Warriors simply cannot tank well enough without high-aggro procs, it is a factual impossibility. You don't have to have your epics, but you have to have something. The most common aggro weapons in Kunark will probably be Sarnak Warhammer (9/20 stun) and Silken Whip of Ensnaring (14/28 snare). I would use SSoY over Lammy.
Stamina is so much easier to max than dex. Once that becomes possible, ogre base stats become far less valuable. That ogre with 150 base stamina and 75 base dex has no stat advantage when his gear puts him a hundred points above the stamina cap, so it becomes a huge waste. Until that point, the two stats are pretty much equal in value, and I say putting your points in dex is the sensible choice if you ever plan to become well-geared.
