spear throw is as weird as it gets.STR for spears, that i would understand, critical damage is bad on spears so damage wise STR wins by far. Perhaps the feat Spear Throw is so good?
Thrown spear is considered melee attack for all purposes - like feats and other effects.
Accuracy scales exclusively from throw skill - hence dex. You can even go 3str and not meet spear min STR requirements
STR still scales dmg, but on DOM there are very few enemies that can survive thrown spear at max range. Even most DOM bosses die to single throw. Since dmg scales with melee, you need melee skill max too.
I think going max dex is optimal because on DOM having max acc is crucial with those throw, while even with 3str enemies just die from single throw.
You have sword carving effect which should be enough. Swords are not knives - you deal proper damage even with non crits.Speaking of which, DEX provides 1% crit chance.
anyway you should give up on swords and join knives master race. If you are reluctant you can use butcher knife which is basically misconfigured sword
