In 50-60 you're not killing 5 mobs nonstop for every 4.

You will absolutely level faster as an Iksar (assuming same type of gear as the Human Monk has) from 50-60. If you're just chilling and soloing randomly and don't care about getting to 60, then yeah the earlier levels the Iksar regen just isn't going to make as much of a difference, but 50-60 is where you will level faster as Iksar.

As I said, you're underestimating the impact of a 20% XP penalty and overestimating the impact of a few extra points of standing regen. Monk soloing is about finding a low blue mob you can reliably kill losing about 50% of your health, bandaging back up to 75% and repeating. If you're sitting around to get full advantage of Iksar regen, you're doing it wrong. And in that case, you're also soloing slowly enough that the Human XP advantage on a per-kill basis would be even more pronounced. People are too caught on the regen numbers on paper rather than in real-world scenarios. Monks are not Necros or Shaman. They don't get the same efficiency returns that those classes do from extra regen because they don't solo the same way.
All that being said, more regen is ALWAYS better than less, and a level 60 Iksar is
indisputably the statistical min/max superior choice to a Human (although their FashionQuest is far inferior). But you're deluding yourself if you think the Iksar levels faster due to regen. They really don't.
