Back OT:-

SPR for a Fighter is actually pretty decent if you're willing to sacrifice either STR or END. Some of the really good tankers (pre-cap) were END/SPR hybrids.

An Axer going 25 SPR/rest STR is actually more dangerous than a full STR Fighter in PvP despite full STR doing statistically more damage more consistently. When it's human x human, not knowing when the next strike is going to crit and potentially underestimating/overestimating the crit rate/your healing capability, the occasional crit will more likely kill your target than the expected blow of anticipated damage.

A Power Hit ---> Weapon Swap ---> Accurate Strike chain that crits will bring most people low.

Higher chance to crit is also very good for the Fighter's trump skill Devastate, where you have a good chance to crit on multiple targets making higher % chance more valuable than a few additional points of damage.

Tankers going End/Spr lessen slightly the hammering they take from magic damage and get a slightly enhanced Mana pool.
