Unless there’s a lot of down time, I don’t bother keeping my health fully 100% just for the sake of being 100% hp. Capitalizing on that continuous regen means I literally do not have to torpor as often or canni back the mana spent from casting said torpor.
If I’m casually soloing, why bother. Let the regen do its thing and save some torpor casts (mana cost and time spent casting). It’s mana that could be spent on buffs, debuffs, dotting, etc. It’s the same with grouping 99% of the time. I’ll canni to keep the spells rolling but unless it’s dangerous to do so, I won’t bother with torpor until I know I will get the full scope of the heal and still be under 100%.
For routine play I spend most of my time not at 100% health.
If I have nothing better to do with my time? No spells to cast or other actions to take? Well … there is value in doing nothing! Sit my fat ass down and double my regen or get some med ticks in. Shamans (like bards) can be a very busy, very high APM class to play. There is value in just giving yourself a break.
The only times I’m OCD about staying topped off fully and clicking furiously with super high APM is when I’m soloing something challenging or my group/raid’s needs demand it.

Then you are playing inefficiently. There is nothing wrong with that. This is a game, play it how you want! But playing inefficiently is not Min/Max, so it is irrelevant to the topic of Min/Maxing. Iksar/Troll Regen is not Min/Max simply because you are too lazy to Torpor/Cannibalize.

I honestly liked to tread water around 80% health and mana. If it climbed much above that it was generally because we had a lot of unexpected down time.

This is bad advice, because you die quickly at level 60 when in dangerous zones.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjZxMlJSCDc - Torporing takes 3 minutes or less to get back to full HP/Mana. Running around a zone like WW at 80% HP to justify your racial choice is just reckless, and will end up costing you more time when you need to make a corpse run.
Everybody agrees that Regen is better before Torpor. Everybody agrees you want to keep passive regeneration active before you get Torpor. That is not relevant to Min/Max discussions, where you have Torpor.
