Level 60 with Torpor nullifies any regeneration bonus the Troll might enjoy.
Level 60 with Torpor, Ogre is clearly the superior shaman, and probably the strongest race/class combination in the game.
If you don't care about level 60 with Torpor, and farming the hardest things you can and doing it the easiest, then Troll has a great look, regeneration, and snare click.

tl;dr: Troll 1-59. Ogre 60.
yea but the superiority of the ogre at 60 is tantamount to saying the barbarian is superior cus in a weird twist of fate you managed to be running from something and got stuck in a tunnel and died because of the ogres size. The frontal stun provides that much of a leg up on the other races.

In other words, its not going to save you're life very much if at all, so I therefor would suggest regen/size as a palpable reason to choose a race.

Lastly, lets to be honest. No mater what perk you get, you'll think about how much the other perks would be more valuable to you... I did barb then ogre, and noticed how frustrating it was more than it was benifitial.. but I do remember playing my barb and every time I ran the gauntlet of rooted rotting mobs to change position and Id get stunned, id think FUCK I BET OGRE DOESN'T GET STUNNED *RAGE*

tl;dr there is no *best* choice, there is a choice that is best for you but in the end you'll think you've chosen wrong no mater what.
