Iksar/Troll Regeneration gives you basically the equivalent of 0 HP consistently in the first 17 seconds of the fight. FSI sometimes gives you hundreds of HP in the first 17 seconds of the fight, which is significant.

Sometimes = the bash actually hit you, the bash actually stunned you if it hit, the mob landed at least an average amount of hits for average damage during the time you had to wait for stun to end and start your cast all over again, you were in the middle of casting a spell when the bash hit (in one of your examples it happened, but after your spell finished) you were the one tanking (often the case when solo) - AND such an occurrence had a meaningful impact on the success/failure of the encounter in question.
Like I have said previously ... meeting all of the above criteria is that perfect storm of awful which, from personal experience, I can promise you has never actually happened to my Troll shaman during my time spent playing him (to include soloing WW dragons, Cliff golems, etc).
The argument is certainly worth
considering if your only goal playing your shaman is to solo trophy mobs at level 60. But then you have to ignore the entire part of your shaman that might play in groups, duos, trios, use your dog to pet, are root rotting ... or really every aspect of the game levels 1-59 and pre-torpor.
Even considering that extremely narrow focus of the game, my stance remains that the regen is going to be more potent in the long run.
