I played a DE cleric on live and recently on P99 as an ogre shaman. My wife plays a DE SK though so I feel your pain because she is always getting encumbered (even with my strength buffs) and I end up being her pack mule. I got spirit pouches that I summon for her too which helps a ton because they have 100% weight reduction.
With that being said, the DE cleric was very rewarding on live, and eventually you will outlevel this inconvenience. You will get EE bags, tinker bags, ect... but you are going to have this challenge to contend with until then.
As previously stated, you could try a dwarf, human or Halfling for a little more strength. They are all pretty similar choices and honestly you are going to have roughly the same problem... 70 strength is only 1 or 2 weapons difference from 85 or 90.
You will be fine, strength is pretty common on gear, you will just have to suck it up for now.
