The thing about the Shaman races is that you can at least make decent arguments for all of them, depending on what you value most as a player.
Barbarian - Fastest leveling, good faction, JBB, polar bear hats
Troll - Regen & JBB
Ogre - FSI & JBB
Iksar - Least played race so you stand out as a unique snowflake, regen, AC bonus
Basically, for the Shaman class each race has distinct pros and cons. Contrast this with almost every other class, where race either makes pretty much no difference whatsoever (Magician, Wizard, Rogue, Ranger, Bard, Paladin, etc...) or where one race has such an overwhelming advantage over the others that there is essentially zero min/max debate even possible (Monk, Necro, SK, Warrior).
The reason why Shaman race is so heavily debated is because there really is no objectively correct answer as to which is "best". The class itself is so powerful that race is not make or break either way, so it comes down to personal preference on what pros and cons you prefer.

I wouldn’t call anything overwhelming advantages, or else there wouldn’t be endless debates on it. Also not sure why you’re using barbarian leveling speed as an advantage but leaving it out for those other 4 classes.
Best shaman race in “most” scenarios is troll. Ogre will win in certain ones. Iksar ac isnt worth giving up jbb IMO. Barb has a few decent perks, but should not be in the discussion for best shaman race.
