One simple point about druids getting more from strength than rogues:

They paid for that bonus. It cost talent points. If you then scale strength on gear down to be "fair" you've simply made druids get 56 talent points, instead of the 61 talent points everyone else gets.

Those talent points have to give some advantage, similiar to rogues getting an advantage from those +5% critical hit talent points they spent. You don't see me asking for rogue gear to get less critical strike rating, do you?

Edit: In other words, if the +20% strength is overpowered, fix the talent itself, you don't rescale every epic item in the game. Why doesn't anyone mention the +10% bonus damage from find weakness? There are so many modifers that I simply can't compare myself (a druid) to a class whose bonuses I know little about. (I hope I got find weakness right!)
