I stacked strength gear towards the end when leveling my SK. Since I mostly fear kited, I found by spending less time killing each mob, I spent less mana per mob by nature of not needing an extra fear or two. It was a solid efficiency boost. Hybrids historically got kinda boned with accuracy, so the higher ATK doubly helped, though theoretically now SKs should be better in that regard. Nonetheless, STR is very underrated for leveling indeed.
Personally, I think I'd probably dump at least some in STA, given how low Iksar STA is. If OP wasn't a twink, STR would be the move. If you plan on going for BiS INT is a good choice, but that's a pretty big if.
