u weigh less than 1% of your total play experience (the situation you said above) where you take advantage of the ogre's special ability, vs. ALWAYS and I repeat this ALWAYS having the troll's and iksar's specials, innate regen, kicking in....it's not even an option to me. Troll > Ogre 99% of the time.

Note, im saying this because the average shaman player won't bother trying to solo near impossible mobs...for straight up convenience troll is the best shaman choice. You get to wear the JBB, plus have super fast regen, and also the snare necklace as a bonus. Throw in pre-nerf guise of deceiver = winning (to some who have access to a troll with a guise).

Also note, even on Red I would prefer a troll over ogre. I know you guys who are obssesd with ogre frontal stun immunity will have a different opinion, but even on Red the regen > stun immunity. I have a 53 ogre shaman on Red and I wished I woulda rolled a troll...only reason I didnt was the negative fire damage (when the server was booming there was a shit ton of mages).
