Iksar Shaman - Solo Challenges?

The far more interesting result is that there's a roughly 3% chance of taking 300+ extra damage in the first 17 seconds of a fight for shamans who lack FSI.

Correct. This is why FSI is better for Torpor Shamans. A 3% chance to reduce 300+ extra damage is more useful than a ~0% chance to survive the fight with 24 HP remaining (3 ticks of Iksar/Troll Regeneration), and it is better than saving 1-2 minutes of recovery time per hour on a class that can fully recover in 3 minutes or less. It is the same reason why Torpor Shamans pick Vindi BP over Fungi Tunic. Vindi BP is more likely to reduce a random damage spike, which can save your life.
