Yeah, but once you have Torpor, you pretty much have endless mana. Regen becomes almost useless at that point because Torpor removes the need for it. Instead of maximizing your regen to offset canni's damage, you start being able to just canni down to half HP and recovering it all with a Torpor. The spell completely changes the shaman playstyle and you never have to sit down again. It simply makes regen obsolete because it gives you a new tool that's better and mostly eliminates the need or even benefit of regen. You can stop caring about paying close attention to ticks and making sure you don't sit at full HP wasting regen, you just canni whenever you need mana and Torpor the HP back for less mana than you gained from the cannis. That's also why mana pool is so irrelevant for shamans while HP matters much more, as well as other survivability stats. That's only at 60 with a rare spell, though. Until then, regen is great.
