Str makes the pet more likely to hit at the higher end of range but not raise max hit.
Being npcs, pets benefit disproportionately to AC AND agility buffs - it does help them tank better and to a greater degree than player characters benefit. This is especially true for AC as there is no hard or soft cap.
Hp buffs increase hp pool.
Resists do help resist rates.
Stamina doesn't seem to help.
Dex does nothing for shaman pets.
Sow makes them run faster.
Regen does make them regen faster.
Haste makes them hit faster.
Whether these buffs are worth it depends on what you're trying to do. I generally str and haste pet - will regen if expected to help offtank and also give mitigation and hp buffs in these rare cases to help him not die.
