Strength determines the physical power of your character. A high strength improves your attack power. Strength is also a determining factor in how much damage you block if you use a shield. Rogues and hunters only use a partial value of strength to determine their power. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

PriestAgility

Agility improves your armor rating, your chance to dodge an attack, and your chance to score a critical hit with a melee or ranged attack, thus dealing increased damage. Rogues and Hunters also use agility, in combination with strength, to determine their attack power. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

PriestInner FirePower Word: ShieldStamina

Stamina affects your hit points, no matter what class you play. However, characters designed to absorb damage, such as warriors and paladins, gain more benefit from stamina than classes who have other capabilities, such as rogues and druids, who in turn gain more benefit than pure spellcasters, such as mages. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

PriestPower Word: Fortitude

For a Level 60 Priest:

1 Stamina = 10 Health

Intellect

Intelligence improves your mana reserves. Intelligence has no bearing on non-spellcasting classes. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

Priest

Obviously, for melee the numbers are somewhat irrelevant. Sorry that I don't have the exact numbers for Paladins, but the trend is illustrated. Here are some other numbers to that end:

At level 60, these are expected numbers of INT and points per Crit%

Warlock 200 - 60.6
Druid 192 - 60
Priest 250 - 59.5
Shaman 160 - 59.2
Mage 286 - 59.5

For a Level 60 Priest:

1 Intellect = 15 Mana

59.5 Intellect = 1% Spell Crit Chance

Spirit

Spirit determines the regeneration rate for your health and mana. A high spirit results in much faster regeneration, while a low spirit gives you reduced regeneration. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

Inner FocusNature's SwiftnessMeditationPriestMind FlayMind Blast

For a Level 60 Priest:

100 Spirit = 38 Mana Per Tick, after 5 Second Rule

100 Spirit = 5 Mana Per Tick, while Casting with Meditation
