What's so great about Iksar?

[Adolphus]

Ogre's are probably better for raids as MT due to having more HP and stun immunity. (front)

Iksar's are probably better for typical groups due to the regen.

Either way, it's a close call and probably not even noticeable. People should remember that for as much as we like to talk about min/max here, EQ is a game where mediocre differences in stats have little affect on gameplay. Stats are always overrated here. The big differences are spells and abilities.

Regarding AC - Iksar's might have an argument if this were live. But it's not and AC has never worked correctly on p1999. It's broken and nerfed relative to where it should be. It's a known issue, but we can only assume that the developers here simply don't know what to do, because the formula for the AC mechanic was never made public by Sony.
