for + Damage get it to cap (dont remember offhand what it is exactly), and for melee and spell crit concentrait on Melee Crit as your spell is already naturally boosted 68% through aa.

I'd definately ditch Wis and go down Sta to get Crits.   Hammer Ground is very nice for Instance grouping / solo as well.

Str - 8-8-6-0-2Sta - 7-4-8-8-2Int - 4-4-8

edit:bah.. just tested this out and the results were not good, so I'm removing that advice!
