No, I haven't tested the influence of STR w/ the bow yet. However, from EQTraders:
"Dexterity affects your chances for special melee abilities such as combat effects and critical hits. It increases your chances to gain points in most combat skills. It is also a factor in determining how much damage you do with throwing weapons and archery."
Where adding Dex really shined for me was the increased rate of archery skill-ups. It was always lagging really far behind, but now (finally at 34) it is maxed for my level - and just the better ratio of hits to misses because of this is giving me a much better DPS then before I added my dex gear.
