I'm trying to follow your logic, but having trouble.
Fights don't normally last that long, so can we say a minute is a reasonable average length? If so we're talking about regen Shaman having 47 more mana a fight than a non-regen Shaman. That's about 1/5 of an ice strike, or about 120 direct damage. Maybe a bit more if you use a DoT instead.

I'm assuming the shaman in question has an epic. Any shaman with epic > any shaman without epic, regardless of race, starting stats, or other gear. If you're root-rotting with an epic, 47 more mana is about half a paralyzing earth, and each paralyzing earth is 2 epic clicks long. So 47 mana is ~1300 damage, not 120. Most mobs I was trying to exp off of in my upper 50s took at least 4 epic clicks. See my response below for more details, or check blkcamel's evil shaman guide.

You're missing the point. Even if, by some miracle, you're not getting hit by anything while you break this tough camp, you're still only getting enough mana for one more slow every 5-6 minutes.
However, it is much more likely you're getting bashed and eating several extra rounds of melee while trying to get off a root or slow, negating the regen bonus entirely and actually ending up with less hp than if you had been an ogre.

Since we're talking about breaking tough rooms, we're talking about a shaman with an epic. Otherwise your mana just isn't going to hold up. The way you break such a room is to send a dog in, PE everything while they kill your puppy, then cycle through with a new PE and epic clicky then tab to next mob and repeat. If mobs are high enough lvl that they tend to break PE early, can toss in a malaisement or malosi too.
