What the two above said. FSI is key for shamans, not so much for SKs (unless maybe some particular situations...). It all boils down to the looks. I liked DE and Troll, went Troll because of DEs are too small. A shadowknight must be BADASS, not a wimpy, fragile elf who you could step on and crush.
Trolls look badass for that class (evil, asshole look), the regen is like having an innate half of a fungi worn forever, slam is a big plus.
The only downside is that you're big and in tight spaces it's a pain to pull, but you have the same issue with ogres, and shrink potions / AoN's do exist.
