Spectral Flask of Power is the flask of choice for Strength
users.

used on cooldown or during periods in which the target takes increased damage.
Potion of Empowered Exorcisms pulls ahead when there are 4 or more
targets.
Shadowcore Oil should be applied to weapons to proc additional
damage, and increase the effect of combat potions.

Healthstone should be used
for combat healing.

If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes
available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.
Starting in patch 8.3 you can also use the re-usable
Lightning-Forged Augment Rune to increase your primary stat by an equal
amount.
