Two things can be true. Most raid shams can have and wear something that’s also not beneficial in all circumstances.
1. Situational benefit
2. Vanity/fashion - the fungi looks stupid on most races.
3. Alternative that frees up a piece of BiS alt gear
If players were robots (or scripting cheaters) and you could set the canni/torp cycle to never end sure, the fungi would only be helpful while running from point A to point B. People aren’t robots though. Sometimes you will canni down a bit and go get a beer. Regen is AFK hps while you med.
Also even in the theoretical robot EQ play example an efficient torp cycle just has to heal every tick for 300. Like the sk “big mana pool” you have to hit the fumes of the tank to see the issue. Having more hps will help avoiding blood aggro during slow attempts and other things but strictly as a mana/hp generation model a fungi is doing something while you are torp dancing. Maybe not as much but every torp tick is an extra 15 hps. Every cani cast you get back about 15. It’s HP mitigation whether you are taking damage from a npc or doing it to yourself.
To turn it back on Sk’s a fungi has its purposes even though most raiders will wear “better”. If I had to guess the fungi is in their bag, or on their alt. If like me and it’s on an alt likely constantly wishing it wasn’t…

The argument for extra HP regen is efficiency. To be an efficient Torpor Shaman, you need to use Torpor. If your argument for worn regen is you are too lazy to cast Torpor, that is your efficiency problem. There is nothing wrong with being inefficient. But arguing for worn regen based on efficiency when you are already being highly inefficient is not logical. The solution is to use Torpor, not buy a Fungi.
For SKs Fungi is awesome. For characters without Torpor, Fungi is a huge improvement to your regeneration relatively speaking. With Torpor, Fungi is only a 5% improvement when you are already mitigating damage extremely well in the vast majority of fights. Vindi BP is also saving you HP with the extra AC and resists.
