Pretty much all of this is right on, but I would make a couple slight changes/clarifications:
STR to 188 then HP > STA > AC > AGI > DEX (188 + SHM buff [+67] = 255, HP being next most important, STA supports HP, then AC and AGI supports AC [but not nearly as well as STA supports HP], then DEX only if you would use the item for STR/HP/AC anyway - DEX is worthless unless you're a proc rogue [and you're not.. ..RIGHT??])
Polished Steel Dirk is CHEAP and 8/23 > SBD's 8/27
Diamondine Earrings > 4str/2int
Runed Lava Pendant > 7str/7int
Jagged Bands are very nice until you can afford/obtain 2 5AC/55hp rings, and eventually a Djarn's Amethyst Ring.

I was told that the Polished Steel Dirk no longer drops. I saw it auctioning for 2kpp last night, so I don't think it's quite so cheap anymore. Diamondine Earrings are definitely better than 4str/2int but in most cases the Jewelry option is cheaper and much easier to obtain.

I would argue that DEX is useful for skilling up combat skills, and offhand procs aren't always a bad thing, but yeah HP is more important.
