If I start from scratch, what should be my priority in order? Should I put ANY points into strength or dex past minimum requirements before pumping up Vigor?

VIT to 30 before anything else gets touched. It really is the best early-game investment and probably the most important investment outright. At that point, you may have a good idea about which main weapon you wanna run with, so check the minimum requirements there and level STR/DEX accordingly. Once you can wield that weapon... honestly it's not a bad idea to take VIT all the way to 40 before pumping more into STR/DEX. You can take VIT all the way to 50 before diminishing returns become awful, but I'd say 40 is a good point before you start to pump STR/DEX to 25.

One cool thing about the DLC is that the very first regular enemy you'll encounter - who is a bastard - can drop gems that are excellent quality for that point in the game, assuming you enter the DLC as soon as you can. Those gems will keep your weapon quite strong even if your STR/DEX isn't beefy by that point.

EDIT some mo': generally speaking, your late-game stats will look something like this, assuming you pick a STR or DEX weapon:

VIT: 50
END: base (although I'd start putting levels into this before BLD or ARC)
STR: 25-50
DEX: 25-50
BLD: base
ARC: base

If you ever grow addicted and try different builds, Arcane is the one stat you can actually level to 99. Your magic spells at 99 become insane, but the early game for an Arcane build is tough times.
