I have a DE necro (level 48 now) and am loving it. I wouldn't worry about end game, the regen really isn't an issue as long as you can play the class correctly in groups or raids.
For example, it's not always going to be just send pet and dot/nuke in groups. Sometimes you might just have a shammy as healer and you'll need to keep a pact on him (while keeping one on you). Or all your mana might be twitched to someone else to keep the group going, etc.
And in the end game, mastering charmed pets is key, although you probably won't be charming much in groups. And one of the most important aspects of a good necro is making sure your pet assists the tank and does not break mezzed mobs.
There are lots of ways to play a necro, and DE race isn't going to make or break those roles. It was great to be close to Neriak but it also wasn't hard to get friendly to OT and bank and sell there (as well as get an OT hammer). That will change if you go to KC to xp but it's nice to have for sure.
I'm not missing that Iksar penalty either. Go DE!
