If that guy had actually leveled both Human and Iksar Monks to 60 then he wouldn't be saying the regen isn't that important. I mean, for sure pre-50 it's probably not that big of a deal (especially if the human has a fungi tunic). But in the 50s if you're soloing the Iksar regen definitely outpaces the time that you lose due to the EXP penalty (ESPECIALLY if you don't have a Fungi Tunic).
You might not see this massive gulf between the races if you just look at once level, but over the course of the entire 50-60 grind there is a significant difference in leveling time overall in favor of Iksar (obviously, not if you're just killing like 1 static spawn every 6:40 and just semi-AFK though). That being said, is it significant enough that I would say picking human is stupid if you enjoy playing a human monk? Not at all; play what you like...but if your goal is solely quickest/most efficient to level to 60 then it's Iksar.
