The expected damage mitigated by FSI in the first 17 (pre-slowed) seconds is 23, according to the calculations I posted (using numbers you provided). You're welcome to contest those calculations; there's several areas of wiggle room I can identify. But you have yet to do so.
I honestly did not expect it to come out exactly one less damage than regen does in the same period. That was pure coincidence. But it does bring a smile to my face.

I just said why this incorrect. You are basically taking the average damage FSI reduces in an hour when taking into account the 8.5% trigger rate per fight, and then comparing it to an individual fight where FSI actually triggered. That is clearly incorrect. That is like saying Ice Spear of Solist only does 78 damage when you cast it in an individual fight, because spamming that spell over an hour is only 13 DPS. Icy Spear of Solist still does 1200 damage to an individual monster, even if the average spam DPS is 13. This is why Wizard nukes are still useful. Their average DPS is low, but they can kill an individual mob quickly.
The same logic with Wizard nukes applies to FSI. You aren't worried about the average damage that FSI reduces over an hour. You specifically want FSI's ability to reduce hundreds of points of damage within a short time period when it does trigger in an individual encounter.
