Ogres are simply better from a min/max standpoint at level 60. The advantages are not gamebreaking, but they are there.

The idea of timing spells around bashes is pretty naive. As an SK, you are timing your spells around your melee, not the NPCs special abilities timer. Furthermore, if you're timing for bash, you're making the assumption that bash is always going to hit. If you're stunned, you're stunned - why not attempt the cast anyway in case bash misses like it does often? It gets a bit more complicated as well when you sprinkle more than 1 monster into the picture. With an ogre, you get to ignore the above.
This guy gets it, and the same logic applies for shaman too. Timing spellcasts around the mob(s) beating on you is a handicap because it implies waiting, and having to wait to cast is exactly what makes getting stunned dangerous. You can say you don't care, but you can't say it isn't true.

I've seen people say that stun immunity is overrated because an ogre still has to put his butt into a corner to prevent interrupts. This is true, but it isn't evidence for the argument that ogre stun immunity is overrated. Non-ogres also want to put their butts in a corner to prevent push interrupts, and when they do this, they can still get bashed. Ogres can't.
