Go WIS for your starting stat.
STA is generally easier to cap with Velious era gear.
You get 1-2 STA buffs (Riotous Health and Hammer of the Dragonborn clickie). You can buff WIS by 10 points with bear illusion, but that's it.
At level 60 you get 3HP per STA, so the starting stats only shake out to an extra 75 HP, assuming you aren't capped. 25 WIS is going to be 150-250ish mana depending on if you are over 200 WIS. 2HP = 1 mana in terms of cannibalize, so having that extra mana means you are saving more HP during an encounter due to potentially using less cannibalizes before you run out of mana. 150 mana = 300hp not cannibalized.
Again, STA is generally easier to cap than WIS, so you will be under 255 WIS more often. My Shaman with raid gear only has 200ish WIS. This is because good Shaman gear is typically more tanky, and doesn't have caster stats, such as Fungi Tunic.
Finally, if 75HP was the difference between life and death in an encounter, the problem wasn't your starting stats.

You’re 200ish wis in balanced raid gear. If OP has balanced non raid gear, he should be well under 200 wis. Most of the 25Wis will be 12mana per.
