Bearing in mind that my build has been designed primarily to use magic (Power Within, Crystal Magic Weapon, etc) and stabbing weapons (a Balder Side Sword + 15 and the Ricard's Rapier + 15), is it worth me extending my Dexterity stat passed the 40 mark to the 45 magic casting speed ceiling, or would I be better served investing the 5 points in upping my 12 Strength stat to a slightly more respectable 17?

A further question re. my combined PvE and PvP build...

The speed of spell casting increases with dexterity, max speed at 45 dex indeed. It depends on your playstyle.

In answer to that...
what style I have tends to levitate more towards using buffed weapons, with ranged magic as more of a back-up or to get a foes attention, and so knowing this would I really benifit from the 5 extra Dexterity points, or as I am now beginning to suspect will be much better served investing them in Strength?

Hmm, purely from my perspective I would go 41 dex 16 str. 16 str opens up greatswords especially the flamberge which is a solid dex weapon. if not then I would get the dex. 17 str is a silly number to stop at IMO

would I still see a notable benefit with the stats you've now suggested (41 Dexterity, and 16 Strength) if I were to stick with my preferred Balder Side Sword + 15 and Ricard's Rapier +15?

this calc is very useful it will give you values for all of your propesed changes what is your int? by far int is what I would recommend if it is below 50, and if you only use ranged attacks as a secondary then the str will be more use than dex (I think) and dex scaling for weapons is awful post 40

Int 40
In this instance I think I'll be going with Strength over Dexterity.
