By the way, standing troll regen is pretty much nothing until level 60. You get 2 standing at 50 while others get 1. You get 12 standing at 60 while others get 4. It'll never make any kind of difference in PvP where you presumably don't spend considerable time sitting down. It's for PvE where it adds a couple of flowing thought or so since you can canni-dance between ticks and get the full sitting regen.

In order for troll regen to yield 100 extra HP during a fight at level 50, that fight has to take 100 ticks (10 minutes).

In order for troll regen to yield 100 extra HP during a fight at level 60, that fight has to take 12,5 ticks (1,25 minutes).

For comparison, you could regenerate 3750 HP in 12,5 ticks with Torpor at basically no cost other than the self-snare which you can click off whenever you need to move. You could heal yourself 100+/sec casting chloroblast or superior healing, and since mana isn't a huge issue for a level 60 shaman, it's safe to say that the tiny amount of extra regen from troll/iksar is completely inconsequential.

A level 60 troll shaman with fungi and regrowth regenerates 42 HP per tick while standing. An ogre with fungi and regrowth regenerates 34 HP per tick while standing. The difference is completely negligible and will never approach the advantage of frontal stun immunity, the disadvantage of -20 fire resist, or for that matter the fact that ogres have like 50 more HP anyway from higher base stamina.
