Sauron probably would have if he could; I think he was waiting to get the ring before going after some of the stronger areas held by those opposed to him in Middle-earth. Though he did go after Lorien, Mirkwood, and Dale/Lonely Mountain, at the same time as his attack on Gondor, and in a certain sense he also went after Rohan (through Saruman).

I agree with Selmo, that had Sauron adopted Hannibal's tactics, he probably would have met with the same results.
