Multiple mobs on you, it's just not happening. Panic situation with mobs about to kill you, you'll be relying on luck to get an FD off.

It's not "THAT" huge, but it is pretty damned awesome, and no doubt best racial ability in the game. On a warrior it hardly matters, but on SK/SHM stun immunity is awesome. People can act like it's not such a huge deal and how they don't get what all the fuss is about, and I'd say they've only seen one side of the fence.
If I'm going to play an Ogre as a SK/Warr, it's more because I'm looking at those huge Str and Sta scores, and perhaps even more that Slam racial for the SK, giving me the option to use a 2her and not lose Bash.

Man, I wish one of the Pally races could use Slam. You'd think a Dwarf would be able to with their giantass fists and beefy upper bodies.
