Its a tough choice, really depends on your style of play. Being an ogre will save your life at times, as stated above there will no doubt be many situations where you get aggro and desperately need to get a spell off.
However the troll regen will be nice as it can give you some extra mana over time, but not that much.
At level 24 as a troll, when you get canni, it will take 5 tics (with the regen spell) to get enough hp for one cannibalize spell. In other words it will take 30 seconds of sitting to get enough hp for 1 canni spell
At level 24 as an ogre, when you get canni, it will take 7 tics (with the regen spell) to get enough hp for one canni spell, also means it will take 42 seconds of sitting to get enough hp for 1 canni spell.
This to me is not enough regen to merit it giving up the powerful ogre shaman who is perhaps one of the most powerful race/class combos in the game at end game here and throughout velious.
The benefits of the troll regen really shine in earlier levels, where you dont have that much hp to begin with
Its up to you how you want to play this out but imo the regeneration spell line is good enough to do what you need to do with cannibalize. You also will die less during the tough situations that will come up as mentioned above.
