Interesting question, and one that I don't believe there has been much discussion on. Each race has good benefits for shaman, prob not a clear cut answer. Shaman really has no bad race to choose from.
Barb-much smaller xp penalty, +10cr, spiritists hammer
Iksar-Regen, +ac (no jbb tho)
Troll-Regen, (-20fr)
Ogre- Frontal stun immunity
If you are making a shaman solely to kill powerful end game mobs all by urself, ogre is probably best, although there aren't any mobs that an ogre can solo that other races can't...it's just a little easier. Troll or iksar probably best all-around followed by barb
Edit: Might wanna check out what the different armors look like on the different races, fashion quest is important! Also ogre/troll can be tough to maneuver in small spaces, so that is a + argument for iksar and barbarian...but barbarians can struggle some places too.
