The real advantage ogres have is frontal stun immunity. This is big because mobs bash a LOT now, so you'll get way more spells off and you'll have a much easier time splitting with FD if thats your thing. Of course, you'll still get interrupted by push.

Basically its always the same, its not the minmax choice but that doesn't mean you can't be effective and have fun. Good player > minmax class/race choices as always.
Maybe at higher levels the spells are cheap, but I know at lv22 (and decently geared) my mana pool drains v ery quickly when casting the new spells.. I think engulfing darkness takes something like 12-13% of my mana, and thats as a dark elf with 120 int
