str or Armor more important?

im a DH, current armor 3826, AR around 400, DPS 56K with SS, 46K life

or forget about both, concentrate on Dex?

which should i go for?

IMO, for DH, 56K DPS with SS is not exactly good.
You need to improve that. Try to get 50K DPS without SS.

I have seen many DH with high damage (100K without SS). But they are KOed after 1-2 hits by white mobs.
What's the point?
These DHs will need a total revamp of gears in patch 105. Waste of money and effort.

Go for a balance build.
i.e. you need adequate life recovery (LOH/LS) so that you can ignore any reflect damage
i.e. you need adequate damage.
i.e. you need 500AR + 4000armor (with the gears like Vile Ward, it is EXTREMELY easy to get high AR and armor).
i.e. you need at least 40K of HP.
It is a safest best to go for a balance build.
You have plenty of selections of gears at AH now. It is very easy to obtain such stats.

Just a tip, go look for Manticore at AH.
Extremely cheap.

I just bought another Manticore with 771 LOH & 2.9% LOH for 8.99m.
A faster 2H crossbow. Extremely cheap and awesome item for life recovery.
Decent damage (for my build, 70K without SS / 160K with SS).
(Note: If you want both LOH & LS, you can only get a single slot Manticore)

P/S My build is not godly. But it is good enough for me to farm in A3/A4.
I can easily dish out 120K-150K damage.

+1.

500AR +4k Armor is ideal. At least can take 2 hits from phasebeat. LoH is necessary if your DPS is low, LS will be better once your DPS exceed 100k. IMHO 40k life is a bit too much. I run with 32k life with 500AR/4k Armor and its fine 70k DPS no SS, extra Disc helps alot. Gloom/Smoke Screen is essential

Sorry, my bad. I mixed up the HP with my meelee heroes.
My DH has 35K HP.
