Lol @ anyone who thinks this is worth giving up for FSI or iksar AC.
Unless you're trying to solo as a warrior for some weird reason, regen is nearly worthless. Ogres have better stats, FSI (which is still worth something), and - crucially - don't have -20 fire resist. The only time troll isn't dramatically worse than ogre is if you have some strange fetish about soloing with a class that has no business doing so. Regen is absolutely worthless anytime there's a healer of any kind. Even if we do pretend that you aren't at full HP 90% of the time, the miniscule amount of health gained is completely irrelevant.

It's a drop in a bucket that then gets emptied out into an industrial-sized vat that is subsequently drained into a freighter's liquid tank. Regenerating a few dozen hit points per minute is worth absolutely nothing when mobs are hitting for 100+ every two seconds and you have somewhere between 2k and 5k HP. Anyone who says otherwise is a moron. Soloing is the only exception, and soloing with a warrior is for morons.

Mind you, I do quite like regen on a shaman or SK. Those classes can actually make use of it.
