the cast time (6 seconds) on the necklace and the low % of snare/dmg means that recasts (even with a shammy SoW) will be a little difficult unless rooted. If the mob dies within that time frame then the snare necklace wasn't needed in the first place. It's a nice tool, but don't pick a race b/c of an overrated item. It's fantastic to start off a 1v1 encounter with a mob, but that's essentially where it's use ends.
Ogre frontal stun immunity means that you can have an easier time in between slowed swings. For anyone that's played a shammy at high end, you'll know what i mean. You time your spells after the mob swings so to hit without being interrupted/stunned. Ogres don't have to worry about the latter and thus have a somewhat easier time nailing those casts on the first attempt. Post-classic shammies will rarely root a mob considering their slows are so powerful, therefore melee shammies really start to bloom during kunark and an ogre's frontal stun immunity is a decent benefit.
Troll regen is fantastic in that it scales with level. But with a Fungi and shammy spell regens the Troll regen is just an added bonus and not game-breaking.
I meant what i said, the differences are negligible at 60. Pick what you'd like to look at, because personally I avoided them both simply b/c i can't stand the graphic :P
