weapon: RFS
chest: fungus robe
5/55 rings
executioner's hood
(i'm going to farm GoP)
HBC
FBSS...

should i be getting items that focus on STR?

Everything is irrelevent after the RFS and fbss.

I would put all available resources into an RBG though or sash of dragonborne.

Haste > Weapon > HP > STR > Resists > AC.

If you cant stretch to more haste though the best thing you can possibly pickup is a large soiled bag and 1-2 tink bags. These will make up more AC than most of the armor available.
Wu's is fine for most slots with azure sleeves and a tranix crown
Black saph 35hp ears
NoS or BS neck
Tranix crown for the MR
7MR bracers if you cant stretch to hardened clay + granite.

You're really quite limited in what you can do without going all out for the fungi route, so more HP for mend efficiency is the biggest bang for buck after maximising damage. Tink bags means a lot for both your weight limit, plus being able to loot and liquidate that loot into gems
