You won't change my mind, I can't change your mind.
We'll just be going in circles.

Let the people decide based on the evidence we 'both' provided. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
We can agree to disagree[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I just want to make sure people understand the proper game mechanics for bash. You can easily do the experiment yourself.

A monster that bashes you does not always stun you. This is true on any race. On my 56 Troll Shadowknight, I have seen many monsters bash me while I am casting a spell. When that bash does not stun me, I can usually finish casting my spell. Not always, but a good chunk of the time. When the bash stuns me, however, I NEVER get to finish casting my spell.

This is how Frontal Stun Immunity reduces spell interrupts. By removing the stun component on a bash, Ogres never have to worry about the automatic spell interrupt from a stun. All bashes from the front become non-stun bashes, which means you always have a decent chance of landing a spell after being bashed.

EDIT: I can also show the factual math for Troll regeneration in a long fight. I just did a WW Dragon on my Shaman. It took me 15 minutes to get the WW Dragon down to 20%. In a 15 minute fight, a Troll would regenerate 1200 more HP than an Ogre. That means a Troll would get one free Torpor in this fight. This is why racial regeneration becomes way less relevant with Torpor. Even in one of the longer fights you can do, you are saving one Torpor. If a fight is determined by one Torpor, that fight was already extremely close. An extremely close fight like that could have be saved with FSI too.
