Yes, but after 55+, it makes a huge difference.

At 60 (the level of biggest difference), trolls receive an additional 11hp per tick sitting. That's 110 hp per minute or approximately 60 mana per minute with Canni IV. Or, more usefully, an extra 6 mana per tick.

Sorry, to me that's simply not as game breaking as stun immunity. And nearly every 60 shaman i've known who played in the velious era agreed, including one who played a troll.

If regen doesn't matter, why fungi tunic are considered as a must have item for shamans?

This isn't really a useful question. A better question is "What are the alternatives to Fungi Tunic and how do they compare," and the answer is there simply isn't anything that compares well.

In the Troll/Ogre debate, you have two alternatives - frontal stun immunity or an extra 11 hp or 6 mana per tick. Among those two alternatives, i'd say frontal stun immunity is more game-breaking.
