It also depends on what you're planning on doing.

Want to pull constantly? AC, HP, and SAVES will help you a lot. Honestly, most of my pull deaths are because I get nuked to hell splitting a caster (or two), or rooted in place, or the stun spell lots of casters have. AC, to be honest...doesn't seem to be helping me much right now. Some have posted saying they think p1999 is doing it wrong, but I dunno about all that. I just know that personally AC isn't helping me too much. And of course HP is always beneficial, but I'd rather have +5/10 to a save than 10 hp. At 28 most mobs are hitting for like 50-60, and double attack, so even if I focused on +hp items I'd get maybe 1 more hit's worth of life (since I'm not rich and can't buy the high-end crafted shit).

If you're just wanting to dish out damage, STR is where it's at. HP and AC is still beneficial for when you accidentally pull aggro and your FD fails, or if you take a riposte before you can get behind the mob.
