not really

22hp adds up in just a few hits.

The main time I see the frontal stun immunity being worth it is when your target isn't slowed. However, it is still probable that you'll die from frontal stuns I imagine it wouldn't be that common for smarter players.

The extra mitigation (AC + innate regen) as an iksar very well could out weight the pros of being immune to a possible stun every 30secs or whatever.
