Some slam math (for 5.4)
This is the formula for your average slam hit (including crits) in bgs taking enrage into account
(averagedamage*2.75+261)*(1+1*(crit/100))*(1+0.1*(crit/100))
where averagedamage is taken from the melee tab of your character page (top end + bottom end)/2, and crit is just your normal crit %
Running some numbers:
Full stre - 986.12 (averagedamage 224.5, crit 11.04)
Full crit - 963.64 (averagedamage 190.5, crit 20.33)
Balanced - 994.88 (averagedamage 213, crit 15.68)
By balanced I mean trying to max crit + stre
Only thing this doesn't take into account is the extra rage from enrage, and when working out extra damage from enrage assumes you can pull off 3 slams between every ms (which is in favour of more crit).
Even rolling in full crit enrage wont proc often and crits just aren't consistent; with a 1/5 chance to crit you wont get a crit every 5 hits
Imo crit isn't better than stre, just max out crit + stre. You do (slightly) more damage in theory and from my experience more in practice, but at the end of the day its up to you
Also worth noting that apart from shield slam, ms and slam, every other warrior ability scales better in full stre

You can see Tim already gets alot of str from his boots, bracers, looms, gloves, belt, cloak. And obviously more crit means more rage, more rage means more dmg. The set is very balanced and still the most crit available while maintaining hit cap.

No.
The difference is like 50 damage vs 10% crit.
Strenght scales horribly and you're better of using crit.
Crit 1 out of 4 hits for 800
Or
Crit 1 out 8 hits for 850
Crit!
Edit:
Also
http://www.wowhead.com/spell=13046
More crit = more rage
More rage = more damage
More strenght = less rage
Less rage = less damage
More crit > More strenght

Strength doesn't scale horribly, only scales badly with shield slam
Stacking crit in the hope of getting more enrage procs isn't worth it
In a 20 minute wsg game with 20% crit assuming you cast ms every 6 seconds you will average 40 procs; so that's 30 procs with 15% etc
Realistically youre looking at ~5 procs a game. You can get lucky ofc but imo enrage is pretty negligible

For me personally I value crit higher because those slam crits are simply amazing! (atleast they were pre-patch, haven't played 5.4 as warr yet. Installing as we speak)

It scales awefully with shield slam.
Zehj
Legend
awful/bad same thing, but its the only warr ability that scales worse with stre
shield slam numbers (outside bgs):
full stre - 776.32
full crit - 820.04
balanced - 802.07

It does but it also gives less rage and less rage means less damage.

Yeah and while youre waiting for enrage procs you can make up the damage with stre
But yeah lets not go round in circles gear how you want to

while stacking crit you get enough str from pieces here and there to get by.
