From a healers perspective I'll just reiterate that the difference in required healing between an iksar/troll tanking (be it monk/war/sk) and any other race tanking is VERY noticeable. This isn't to say other races don't work - far from it. My shaman's partner in crime is a 60 human monk and he gets by just fine. I even chose to make my own monk human.
I can't think of a time where I said "gee I wish this tank were an ogre". I can think of lots of times I would have had a much easier time had my tank that boost to regen. From 51-55 the 4 difference means 2400 less to heal an hour (~1k less mana). At 56 it's 7 and 60 it's 8 (4200 and 4800). If there's any sitting ticks it's a 7/10/11 a tick difference.
While flopped (big deal for monk/sk) it's a 5/8/9 difference.
Ogre is not the best. They are never a bad choice (far from it) but this community's love affair with FSI is a bit ludicrous.
