A rule of thumb is if you can roll Ogre as a race, you roll Ogre as a race. If you want - check out Samanna.net if you want more educated opinions for shamans.
There is an argument to be made for Troll shaman being superior to Ogre due to the snare necklace and regen, but that really depends what your goal is. For max level content, frontal stun immunity wins out. The argument is that bashes are every 32 seconds when slowed. The counter argument is that getting the mob slowed is the hardest part of the fight and also that timing around bashes isn't always advisable since it's more likely bash doesn't land. You can decide.
Ability to click Kunark Armor is still relevant in Velious and beyond. JBB is still very strong until PoP, Cobalt Legs and Incarnadine BP are the only unlimited invis items until Vex Thal, JBBP's Bramblecoat mitigates the iksar AC bonus and doesn't get replaced until Tunare Belt (which goes to tanks), Blood Ember legs are very useful, Blood Ember BP is a decent click until Dain Hammer, etc.
It's not worth rerolling unless you care about min-maxing. You're talking about a relatively minor difference in power, but if you want to be confident that you made the best choice, Ogre is that.
