Shaman race choice without torpor.

[Veleria]

I am having trouble choosing between Barb for looks, Ogre for Stun and Iksar for Regen. I cannot stand troll, just a personal thing. I know a lot of the guides assume Torpor but I am not in a raid guild and the price of torpor on this server is insane so I can't count on ever getting it. How important is race choice, and will the Regen of the Iksar matter more without torpor? If I go Iksar with the lack of a JBB matter that much?

With Velious so close the real question is JBB or Iksar regen if you don't assume torpor as a given?
