The main issue with Robe is you have to equip it to click it. Since it is chest slot, that means unequiping your Fungi Tunic. Fungi Tunic is probably going to be better while you are soloing than the extra AC and STR from the Robe Buff. I can see Robe being better in a scenario where you are DPSing in a group, and not really taking damage.

I only have a 50 monk but can see eventually re-questing the robe. Unless you have a lot of BiS it is likely you will be under 255 str without help from a shaman, Druid, Ranger, or bard. 33 str is about 30 attack so that’s 3 aura of battles or 3/4ths of CoTP. If you are eeking performance out of a dps class being able to max Str is always a good thing.

The conversion rate on STR isn't that good sadly. The calculation looks like this:
((STR * 2) - 150) / 3.
At 100 STR: ((100 * 2) - 150) / 3 = 16.667
At 130 STR: ((130 * 2) - 150) / 3 = 36.666
At 160 STR: ((160 * 2) - 150) / 3 = 56.666
You gain the equivalent of ~20 Worn ATK per 30 STR.
