Oh, and the "dead rogues do no damage" argument is kind of bogus here....That's really more for gear choices and what AA to prioritize. Dead wizzies do no damage either, nor do dead clerics heal, but I wouldn't exactly tell them to stick all their points in STA either.
Being "dead" or not is all about how you play your rogue, not where you stick your starting points. I would sweat keeping your Defense skill up as you level, more than I would where you put your points on creation.
It really comes down to weather you want to tweak up your ATK on creation, or HPS on creation, but neither are going to make or break you.
That said, I've never seen a rogue evaluated on his hit points or ability to tank. I have very often seen rogues evaluated on DPS parses compared to other rogues and DPS classes, though. If you want every hit to be the absolutely the highest it can possibly be in a given set of gear, put your points in STR. But again, you are still going to be laying down insane DPS even with no points in STR.
