Not a big believer in dex over those. If you follow that logic why would people pick an Ogre over a Halfling?

The amount of damage you gain from increasing STR is not insignificant, but in terms of aggro generation its very small. STR is good to have, but not all that important.
STA, HP, and AC are of course necessary... but your job is to take hits and if you cant hold aggro it doesnt matter how tough you are. DEX is still a priority stat any time you can pair it with decent AC.
Ogre frontal stun immunity isn't as big for warriors as it is for SKs and shamans, but it's still the best race stat-wise. If you don't want to deal with the faction or size issues go Dwarf, the STR/STA drop isn't enough to make or break the class. But the penalties for going Ogre are more than made up for by the benefits. If you can get a Cobalt Bracer you ameliorate the biggest downside of being a fatass.
Edit: oh and Slam is huge. Huge. So huge.
