Defense, mostly. As 2-handed warriors show, pumping everything in damage can lead to poor survivability. The bulk of a shield warrior's damage comes from abilities and enchantments anyway, and since dexterity offers the exact same to hit bonus as strength, it's good to stock up on it. Heck, some shield talents even require a minimum dexterity.

And it's not as if you'll be abandoning strength entirely. To get all the talents alone requires a minimum of 32 strength, and if you want to equip decent armor, you'll need at least around 36-38 strength.
