A few extra standing Regen per tick (which is what matters, not sitting Regen, because you're bandaging to 75% between kills, not sitting) is not enough of an advantage for the Iksar to kill 5 mobs for every 4 the Human kills. That's also assuming non-stop killing, which is rarely the case when soloing anyway (indeed, people solo a Monk largely to avoid the frenetic, non-stop pace of pulling for an XP group).

In 50-60 you're not killing 5 mobs nonstop for every 4. But an Iksar can definitely killing faster overall with less downtime and every minute is critical if you're talking about leveling speed from 50-60 given how long that stretch takes. You will absolutely level faster as an Iksar (assuming same type of gear as the Human Monk has) from 50-60. If you're just chilling and soloing randomly and don't care about getting to 60, then yeah the earlier levels the Iksar regen just isn't going to make as much of a difference, but 50-60 is where you will level faster as Iksar.
