And if you're not soloing, frontal stun immunity is basically irrelevant.

You and your monk decide you want to camp Ass/sup, King, or frenzy in Guk. The monk is splitting most of the mobs and bringing them single, and your mana has no trouble keeping up with the pace of the pulling. Suddenly, either:
1. Root breaks, a mob runs, you try to root it but it resists
2. Monk botches a pull and brings 3-4 or more mobs
3. Adds out of nowheres.
As a shaman you need to CC the adds. You root 2 or 3 of them and slow the one the monk is killing. Guk has tight corridors so you can't really put space between you and the rooted mobs. You start trying to slow the rooted mobs when one of them breaks, runs over to you, and bashes you.
If you're a troll, you are stunned for a moment and your spell is interrupted.
If you're an ogre, the bash does not stun you, and you immediately proceed with what you are doing.
Every time a monk/shaman has multiple adds, the shaman will root them. When root breaks, the mobs rush the shaman and usually open with a bash. A bash will stun the troll. Maybe your monk is taking excessive damage from a spam-happy froglok wizard-- those seconds spent stunned add up to a significant difference in your ability to respond.
A troll's ability to regenerate will slightly increase their efficiency over time, but it will do almost nothing to get them through a tough situation where the shaman is dealing with mobs. At later levels, with a fungi tunic, regrowth, and perhaps torpor, racial regen becomes increasingly negligible while ogres still have the same innate advantage in situations where the shaman has to deal with CCing mobs or taking hits in a stressful situation.
I'm not trying to say troll is a poor choice, or that regen isn't beneficial. But it's going too far to say frontal stun immunity only helps when you're solo.
