Regen is just flatly superior at all levels of gameplay.

This is factually false at 60 with Torpor.

Regen is very easy to calculate how much you get. Trolls/Iksars get +8 standing Regen over other races. 8 x 10 x 60 = 4800 HP per hour. That's the equivalent of 3-4 Torpors per hour, assuming you are never at 100% HP, which a Torpor Shaman often is.

3-4 Torpors per hour is not really significant on a Torpor Shaman. At best it saves you 2 minutes per hour on recovery, but in reality it's probably half that (or less) due to being at full HP/Mana often.

FSI increases your chance of survival before the initial slow on any difficult fight, which can actually be the difference between success and failure. This is the most dangerous part of a fight. Increasing your chances of surviving a difficult fight will always trump a small boost in recovery time on a class that can already do a full recovery in 3 minutes or less https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjZxMlJSCDc .
