Be whatever race you wanna be. To be honest with life tap I don't see the regen bonus being that great to make you have to choose a iksar. If going for a monk its a no brainer...but as a necro being able to lifetap whenever you are low on HP. I just dont see that as being a much bigger drawing point over the 20% xp penalty.

Because lifetaps aren't mana efficient and the iksar regen balances out the hp loss on the lich line. So basically for an iksar you have fulltime clarity at no hp cost, whereas non iksar will constantly lose hps and be forced to lifetap and burn more mana.
Iksar = Lich line on at all times with no negatives. Lifetap is only needed if you actually take damage during a fight meaning you not only have more mana from the constant lich, but you also don't need to burn any for lifetap unless it's an emergency.
Yes he should play what race he likes, but if that was his ultimate answer then he'd not have posted asking for advice. Unless you've actually played an iksar necro it's kind of hard to understand how great they really are. The 20% exp bonus is a non issue. Think of it this way, you'll level faster anyways and have more plat due to the extra mobs you will have to kill.
