More broadly the point is there is such a massive soup of variables going on in these encounters that the potential for a brief stun to change the outcome of the fight for a shaman is virtually zero.

This is the big point that nobody seems able or willing to grasp. Every race of shaman can do all the same stuff so in the end it comes down to regen (quantifiable benefit) against FSI (unquantifiable benefit).
The only time you can try to determine the worth of FSI is against a single mob, which when slowed bashes about every 30 seconds, because that's the only time the variables can be apprehended well enough to work out if FSI does anything. Even then if you can't time casts within a 30 second window the problem is not the shaman's race. In circumstances with more than one mob, in these vague 'clutch' situations, the benefits of FSI are drowning in that variable soup and impossible to clearly determine.
Basically you can tell clearly and directly that regen does something significant. The same can't be said of FSI.
It's just such a no brainer. A core aspect of the class is significantly stronger in troll and Iksar than the other races. Nobody argues this for necro. It's like trying to say gnomish wall vision beats regen.
