Yea it’s Ogre for me and not all really that close, when your first slow gets resisted or you pick up some adds with very high MR, that frontal stun immunity can be the difference in life or death. Sure leveling the troll may be a little faster with the regen, but you will spend a majority of your time at max level.

Well if your first slow gets resisted, you should be able to spam root until it lands. Even if its an unrootable mob(incredibly rare) you should be able to get clean casts off between bash time recycling. The 1.5 second stun from a bash that is on a 10 second cooldown, which half the time it won't even be a bash but a kick, and then 75% of the time won't even result in a stun anyway even if it was a bash is going to ever even significantly influence any given fight a shaman may be attempting to solo is absurdly unlikely especially when you consider the vast majority of time you could have just spammed root until it landed and cast outside of melee range amd any race shaman is going to do exactly that. Even when all those things do happen in a fluke, it still has around 30% chance to interrupt you regardless of race anyway.
You either land slow or die, and the chance FSI even has any impact whatsoever on you successfully landing a slow is incredibly low. And if its a long marathon fight, and you do indeed land slow, the only way you now lose is if you are too inefficient with your slows/healing, but guess what, regeneration suddenly has a significant impact on that equation since it's completely free health/mana for you to access. Those numbers will add up over a 10+ minute fight. It's probably just as likely the extra efficiency will allow an additional slow attempt over a long fight and that could prove the difference as compared to FSI having any impact on an initial slow attempt.
At the end of the day it's really choosing if you want something that will always help during virtually 100% of your playtime or something that MIGHT help you 0.001% of your playtime.
