Not a very good Troll (get it), since I never claimed this about Shadowknights[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Ogre is the best Min/Max Shaman race. Troll/Iksar regen is much better on classes that do not have a highly efficient heal spell like Torpor. It is also better on classes with FD. I know Shamans get the FD ring, but unless you recharge it a LOT, it isn't your main ability for avoiding death. The main reason why Ogre FSI is better on Warriors in the long run is because Warriors are mostly a grouping class, where regen basically becomes useless. It is much rarer for people to make a solo focused Warrior, and keep them solo focused forever.

For Shadowknights, plenty of people feel comfortable mostly playing solo forever. The combination of their skills being great in solo play mixed with their poor raiding status make Shadowknights a mostly solo/single group class. The Min/Max race is a bit of a toss-up between Troll and Ogre, depending on what you want to do. Trolls are the better solo SK due to the regen, and Ogres are the better grouping SK with FSI. One could make a reasonable case for FSI still being superior to regen in solo play, as it helps you get FD off easier when you have multiple mobs attacking you. But between Deaths Peace and Blood Ember Greaves, you get plenty of opportunities to cast and recast FD. I do notice the bash stun interrupts on my Troll Shadowknight, and they have caused me issues. Most of the time I can get FD off just fine, and when that happens the regen gets me back in the fight much sooner.
