So race choice should be considered as casual I suppose since my odds of raiding are slim.

In that case I'd still recommend troll or iksar. People scream about iksars being terrible shamans but that's mostly because of JBB issues and lots of people will never afford one anyway. And besides, the epic is way more useful than JBB. Iksar have access to some pretty sweet no-drop armor that big races can't wear (Jarsath Scale I think it's called, drops in KC), have the most convenient Kunark city and have an innate AC bonus.
The reason people talk about stun immunity and ogres etc. is because with top-end gear and torpor shaman can solo big mobs like some dragons in Velious. Regen becomes irrelevant because of torpor. Truth is, only a minority of shaman will be able to do this anyway so you might as well go with a regen race because the benefits are both immediate and very noticable.
