If a shaman had a fungi, they’d wear it.
They all have regen spells and only the worst of them don’t keep it up constantly (caveat being the 60 shaman who has torpor and isn’t super worried about min/maxing.)

True: pre-Topor any form of regeneration (spell, racial or Fungi) is awesome for Shaman.

people doing mental gymnastics trying to rationalize racial regen not being important.
1-50 troll/iksar regen is double. After 51 it takes off exponentially. Make no mistake, it’s a big deal.
...
Racial regen isn’t a small gain.

I think the problem is that you're talking in absolutes, but this stuff isn't absolute, it's relative. It's not "is Iksar/Troll regen good?" (I agree that it is), it's "is Iksar/Troll regen better or worse than FSI or a significantly faster leveling?" And
relative to the Shaman XP bonus (and faction), in my opinion the regen is just not as good for getting you to level 60 (and then it's not very useful once you have Torpor at 60).
But people can crunch the numbers to argue either way, and ultimately it's subjective because people level differently, die at different rates, spend more/less time AFK recovering, etc. All I can say is that based on my many years playing a Shaman both here and on live, my best subjective-but-trying-to-be-objective assessment is that the XP bonus gets you to 60 faster.
Even so I freely admit that both regen and the XP bonus help you get to 60 faster, and both give a fairly close benefit ... it's just that (again) exactly how close depends on your playstyle.
