The usefulness of FSI comes from its relative usefulness to other racial abilities. In other words, it's not like FSI is some game-breaking power (although conversations about the best Shaman race often make it seem like it is) ... it's just that the other Shaman races at level 60 have less useful powers.

Barbarians get ... faction. Most other Shaman races could care less if good cities like them, and if they do care they can fix the faction by killing a bunch of low level mobs. Also Barbarians get less XP penalty than any other race ... which again at 60 is meaningless.

Trolls and Iksar get ... regeneration. With Torpor at level 60 I almost never even cast my regen spell anymore, because regeneration is virtually meaningless compared to Torpor.

So this is why FSI is so "good": it's actually useful at level 60, when you have Torpor, and the other racials aren't. But you have to understand that it's only good by comparison: it's not anywhere close to being a major game-breaking racial power, and you shouldn't expect it to be.
