I always find that if I stick to doing 12 reps and above for anything more than 2-3 weeks and my strength drops. so you will only be getting endurance benefits.
Strength improvements have been tested to show that 5-6 reps are best between 75-85% 1RM at a 1 up 3 down tempo.
Power improvements have been tested to show 3 reps work best at 85-90% of 1RM at a fast 1 up 1 down tempo
As to amopunt of sets per bodypart if you are looking at endurance you want to decrease your rest periods and up the sets but as said this will have a severe effect on your strength/mass.
