23 or 24 HP makes no difference in the pre-slow phase of the fight. When you do get hit for hundreds of HP worth of damage during the 3% of the time when FSI matters, you are in much greater danger. This is why FSI is better than Iksar/Troll Regeneration. Removing a damage spike of hundreds of damage from at least 3% of your fights is better than gaining 24 HP in all of your fights consistently, which is essentially meaningless.

Math is math.
His logic and reasoning is quite sound. Yes extraordinarily bad luck is possible, but so is extraordinarily good luck on the other end of the spectrum Thanks for the work bcbrown

Iksar/Troll Regeneration will always give you 24 HP in the first 17 seconds of the pre-slow phase of the fight. Factually speaking the odds of 24 HP saving you in any individual fight is significantly lower than 3%. It's much closer to 0%. FSI will give you either 0 HP, or Hundreds of HP in the first 17 seconds of the pre-slow phase of the fight. Iksar/Troll Regeneration gives you basically the equivalent of 0 HP consistently in the first 17 seconds of the fight. FSI sometimes gives you hundreds of HP in the first 17 seconds of the fight, which is significant. Something is better than nothing in this case factually speaking. Reducing a damage spike in 3% of your fights is better than an almost 0% chance of surviving a fight with only 24 HP remaining. FSI is indeed better than Iksar/Troll Regeneration on a Torpor Shaman. It is the Min/Max option. The math and evidence presented shows this result clearly. It is also not limited to soloing WW dragons and cliff golems. Shamans tank well in groups, and raid Shamans use https://wiki.project1999.com/Di%60zok_Oracle_Shillelagh to slow mobs.

Like I have said previously ... meeting all of the above criteria is that perfect storm of awful which, from personal experience, I can promise you has never actually happened to my Troll shaman during my time spent playing him (to include soloing WW dragons, Cliff golems, etc). The argument is certainly worth considering if your only goal playing your shaman is to solo trophy mobs at level 60. But then you have to ignore the entire part of your shaman that might play in groups, duos, trios, use your dog to pet, are root rotting ... or really every aspect of the game levels 1-59 and pre-torpor. Even considering that extremely narrow focus of the game, my stance remains that the regen is going to be more potent in the long run. Edit: grammar

Everybody agrees that Iksar/Troll Regeneration is better while leveling. I say so as much in my guide, which is years old at this point. But there are plenty of people who spend more time farming the endgame than playing the leveling game. There are also plenty of people who spend more time in the leveling game than the endgame. That is why I give people all of the facts and let them decide what to do. If you want to Min/Max, Ogre is the answer. If you want to have the best time leveling from 1-60 before you get Torpor, Troll is the answer. Once people have all of the information about the game, they can confidently decide what they want to do at character creation.

The point that racials are not necessary is completely irrelevant to which racial is objectively best when Min/Maxing, which is FSI for Shamans. Objectively Best != Necessary.
