Can you articulate on this? I understand that the accelerated regeneration trolls possess becomes negligible when a shaman learns the Torpor spell, and that an ogre's frontal stun immunity gives them a certain melee advantage and the ability to defeat some powerful enemies (such as the dragons in Western Wastes) by themselves, does the ogre's alleged superiority extend beyond these things?

Ogres are truly the best shaman. Between original classic and other emu servers I've tried all the classic races. Ogre wins hands down, troll comes in 2nd then it comes down to Barb or Iksar depending on your criteria. Ogre gets by far the best stats (127 sta at creation), and their wis is still higher than a Trolls. Barbs get chosen because they're the only good race and people like their looks. Otherwise they are the weakest.
Even casual players have a chance at a JBB and Iksar's can't use them. Troll's get access to snare clicky necklace, but it's not all that great honestly but it can help at low levels.
However it just comes down to what you like. People will defend their "favorite" Shaman with their own reasons, but subjectively Ogre wins hands down. Only those who've played them will understand. Frontal stun immunity is better than it sounds. The less you're stunned, the more DPS you'll do in a fight. The less times you'll be interrupted during that heal or root. The more str/hps you have without even having to buff with those sweet Ogre stats.
