"With talents that boost dmg done and total AP ( Bloody Vengeance and Abomination's Might ) Wouldn't crit be a more reliable stat?"

Talents the boost damage and AP boost by a percentage, and as a result have more of an effect when you stack it. And there are also talents which boost strength (like Abomination's Might, which increases the DK's total strength by 2%, and Veteran of the Third War, which increases by 6%).

Also, Abomination's Might doesn't proc on crits. It procs on half of your Blood/Heart Strikes and all your Obliterates, regardless of crit. So +2% strength all the time, with +10% ap (which you get 2 for every point of strength), makes it a talent where you want to stack strength.

When it comes to instance DPS, slow and steady wins the race, and going with strength over crit raises your total DPS because it makes both your crits and your regular swings hit harder.
