Go Iksar or Ogre. Iksar if you want AC bonus/regen, or Ogre if you want frontal stun immunity which is nice for casters.
It's nice to have, but JBB only really matters while you're levelling. At 60 you'll have Torpor and effectively unlimited mana so expending mana to DPS isn't as much of an issue.
Also yes, the exp penalty is totally worth it. Troll/Ogre/Iksar are all great choices for a shaman. Just don't roll a Barbarian and you'll be fine =P
