I'm personally running AGI of course, and the entire length of the STR line myself; the STR upping all hit dmg, maxed melee crit and faster recasts are doing nicely for my dps. I used to run AGI/INT, but switching to STR, either my gear went up considerably at the same time, or STR actually did me better. INT will be my rok direction tho, since I've been tempted to try it again, anyhow

With 50 to spend on each side as is you should have plenty left over to have 3 end line abilities. I'll probably go STR after my AGI/INT just to have more potential damage for the few times we melee.

No, you need 22 in a line to gain the last skill in that line, and 2 to activate it. Overall you'd need access to 73 points to get 3 endline skills. 1 + 24 (agi line) + 24 (int line) + 24 (whatever line) = 73.

Hmm, so it does. I thought it was 20 heh, my bad. I can't do math

Wish I was at home to check this ingame, but since not, I took a look at this info in the mean time in hopes of numbers and details ( Allakhazam's Magical Realm: Everquest II: Guide: Achievement Abilities: EverQuest II Achievement Abilities ), and noticed that there's a few conditionals in the STA and WIS lines:

STA:

Spinning Spear: A melee spear attack that strikes all enemies surrounding the Hunter. Inflicts melee damage on targets in area, if Spear equipped in Primary

Surrounding Attacks: Grants the Hunter an increased chance at attacking up to 4 enemies surrounding the Hunter with every auto-attack attempt. Affects multiple targets as long as the Hunter is facing them and they are within melee range.


WIS:

Placating Strike: A melee rapier attack that deals little damage, but lowers your target’s hatred toward you. Inflicts melee damage on target. Decreases Threat to target. If Rapier equipped in Primary

Smoke Bomb: The Prowler creates a smoke cloud, interrupting enemies and placing the prowler into stealth. Hate with all nearby enemies is reduced.

*Decreases Threat to targets in Area of Effect by 418
*Interrupts targets in Area of Effect
*Decreases threat priority of target in Area of Effect by 1 position
*Applies Shroud on termination. Lasts for 36 seconds.
* Grants stealth to caster
* Suspends caster’s movement speed enhancements


It appears to me that the only truly useful ability of those would be the smoke bomb dehate in a raid situation, since I don't use a rapier or a spear.. or am I missing something useful to consider? The Sta one seems best suited to soloing, or group mobs for the extra attacks.. I think I missed where the extra 8% dmg comes in? Or is that it?

And int that much better over str, eh? I'm going to do some testing again, tonight

That list is out of date. They removed the weapon requirements on all the AA's a few updates back. Everything else is the same just don't have to use a spear, rapier ect.
