Relying on procs is not fun. Even with Truncheon, sometimes my warrior struggles with fights because the Truncheon won't proc until the mob is nearly dead, or until I'm nearly dead.
Ogre is good for FSI when raiding - but in a group it doesn't matter as much. Soloing doesn't matter as much. I have levelled two warriors, Ogre and Iksar - and there is not a significant difference in tanking solo or grouped between either. Stuns are annoying, but it's not like Warrior can cast any spells. So you don't get that "You cannot use that while stunned" that annoys caster classes.
Iksar was more challenging than Ogre because of faction - but if I rolled a new Warrior, Ogre would be bottom of the list of race choices.
Ogres are ugly. Everyone min maxes. I would love to see some more RP players, or various warrior races. Some are obviously not great choices (Elves, Gnomes) because of low starting strength and stamina.
My advice: Play what you would like to look at. Troll has a great fashion aspect, and the regen is really nice at 51+. But that 20% exp penalty is a killer.
I think if you're truly going for a casual build - forget all of the e-leet min/maxing strategies that are posted all over this board and just play what you would enjoy logging into and looking at.
