That iksar ac bonus is overrated.
As a very wise poster on these here forums always used to say, if you can pick ogre, you always should pick ogre.
Ogre FSI allows you to get your spells off when you are face tanking hard hitting mobs, while other shamans would likely fail.
Basically ogres are supreme in combat, while trolls and iksar regen bonus give them an edge out of combat in between fights when using canni for mana regen.
This guy can minimalise the usefulness of the JBB and other clickies useable by all shaman races except iksar, but options are always nice and having the opportunity to use them is better than not having them.
Large races also get slam, which can prove to be useful when you need to interrupt a casting mob too.
There's only one reason to pick an iksar over a troll if you value health regen over ogre FSI and that's if you prefer them aesthetically or enjoy their lore, etc.
The fact of the matter is gamewise, iksar simply are inferior to both trolls and ogres if you are min/maxing for performance and for total options available in the game while playing the shaman class.
Oh, iksar also enjoy swinging weapons like gimps, they truly have by far the worst combat animations in the game.
