I'd highly recommend FFXIV Ariyala. It breaks down all dungeon and raid gear by Item Level and tells you its stats in side by side comparison with other contemporary gear. It also tells you where to get the piece and specifically out of which coffer. For tanks, it defaults Vitality accessories but there's an option to show STR accessories as well! At the very bottom, it tallies up your gear and shows your total stats.
As far as gearing up your PLD, you'll want to avoid DEX altogether. Don't waste accessories on it. STR is a PLD's main stat, as it greatly increases the potency of your weaponskills and spells, including Clemency and Flash. That said, many PLDs prefer the HP buffer provided by stacking VIT. For some raid content, the increased HP is advantageous, but in 90% of content, its superfluous and you're better off with the increased dps, enmity, and healing from STR.
As far as secondary stats go, you'll want to stack as much Determination as possible without sacrificing your minimum accuracy cap, which is pretty easy to hit on PLD. I think for current endgame content, tank accuracy requirements cap out near 650. Seeing as you're not yet there, you can afford to be much lower.
There are some stats which have a severely negligible impact on PLD, and these are Parry and Critical Hit Rate unfortunately. While it's not a bad thing to have some amount of these stats on your gear, you should avoid purposefully stacking large quantities of either when there are more effective stat options. Skill speed favors PLD this patch as does Determination.
Hope this helps! ^^ Lemme know if you have more questions.
