The extra few thousand health doesn't really make as much difference as determination instead of parry.
Current meta is that since STR and VIT's contribution towards Attack power are both 0.45, you need less 'good' secondaries than before to make up for the loss in AP from your main stat loss.
However it's a bit minimal. Full VIT will still be better than Full STR but if you mix in something like a CRIT/DET STR Accessory over a ACC/Parry VIT accessory you may get better results.
I know some people were already getting shit for still having some STR accessories. You do however -definitely- want your 35 points in VIT. Bad players who only follow "well these people say it's better" and don't play well are the bane of all players, especially when they are a bad tank and have no idea how to hold aggro even at full VIT and never leaving tank stance.
Edit: I'm more concerned if whether or not this means that when I have 28k HP that the healer will notice that I'm not able to keep my HP up as much as before with a near 20% loss in damage.
