Does a fungi "fix" Barb shamans?

[Lojik]

With a fungi, a Barbarian at low levels will perform almost as well as a troll/iksar/ogre, and probably level faster due to the racial penalty being stronger than the boon of innate regen. Racial regen v. no racial regen loses a bit of its luster if you throw a fungi into the mix, especially at low levels. Below level 20 a troll/iksar with fungi regens standing at 17/tick, a non iksar/troll at 16/tick. At level 60 with fungi, Troll/Iksar 27/tick versus 19/tick. Throw in Torpor and it's pretty small.

I picked troll for my shaman because I preferred the look anyway, and racial regen was nice. It was also my first character so I feel like it helped. But for my first twink character I went human monk. With a fungi the racial choice didn't really matter much until 60, but it's very likely I got 60 faster specifically because I went human.
