Having friends to help out at 60 is min max, not soloing. Soloing is to gamestyle as barbarian is to race. Cute if you're into that kind of thing, but there are better efficiency choices.

Assuming FSI only works during soloing is incorrect. I often tank in single group scenarios if we don't have a dedicated tank. Torporing yourself instead of the Monk in a Monk/Shaman duo allows the Monk to maximize their DPS, as a simple example.
FSI also works in raids, as Shamans use

Assuming Regen is better in groups/raids is also incorrect. Groups often allow individual group members to spend less HP/Mana in any given scenario. This means you are more likely to be at full HP/Mana, and less likely to be using passive regeneration.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq39ybDWx-k - Even when buffing 10 people in a row during a raid, Regen is only giving you 30 seconds of recovery time after the buff session, which isn't going to help the raid.
The reality is racials matter most while soloing. Group members provide a much larger boost to your efficiency than any racial. Shamans are a class that solo, group, and raid equally well. Most players who make Torpor Shamans will do some soloing. This is because people make classes like Shamans or Enchanters because you get one character that can do everything, depending on how much time you have to play, and group/raid availability.
