Making decisions that decrease your chances of success is still bad, even if there's enough luck involved in the game to win or lose regardless. You can die more with FSI than without it because you just got unlucky on slows relative to the other shaman, that doesn't make it worse at soloing things.
You accomplish more faster by being 60 faster, which makes the choice that gets you to 60 faster a strong end game benefit even though it doesn't do anything once you reach 60.

You are overestimating how much benefit you are getting from the xp bonus.
Lets assume you are playing as efficiently as possible with plenty of twink gear.
In PoM rat maze I was getting 1 level per 20 hours or so. That means going from 56-60 takes 100 hours.
Leveling from 1-50 with heavy twinkage is something like 1 hour per level, which means 50 hours.
200ish hours to get from 1-60 on a twinked character seems reasonable.
A Barbarian gets 40 extra hours of endgame at best, assuming you think FSI and Regen provide no increase in leveling speed.
40 hours is like 5 Ayillish kills due to her respawn timer, assuming you got every kill. That is something like 25kpp over an Ogre, or a bit more DKP.
There is no evidence to suggest 40 extra hours of raiding over a characters total lifespan is enough to guarantee full BiS gear earlier than another player. The game just doesn't work like that.
