Yeah FSI is a meme.
Once slowed something bashes once every 52 seconds. FSI is only good when you can back into a corner and not get push interrupted, but bad news, bash may not stun but it can interrupt regardless so, all in all, it's just overrated.
Now a free torpor once every 10 minutes, (with other effects like regrwoth and tunic it's a free torpor of hp every 3 minutes), that hands down is one of the best health/mana economies this game has in it.
It's really not even close.
The only real question is Troll Vs Iksar. Iksar has some pretty nice race stuff while troll gets bracer.
Honestly though at higher levels of soloing you don't use bracer as much and can pump out more damage using health to mana converstion which might give iksar the edge when its AC bonus (which is best AC bonus because it's dodge avoidance, not armor AC and so doesnt count towards the cap). Troll also has a higher stat bonus starting off.
The only reason to go Ogre is that you want a boatload of stats up front.

Ogre FSI is quite useful at level 60. The most dangerous part of a fight is the pre-slow phase (first minute or two). FSI can be the difference between a slow going off and you needing to gate.
Troll/Iksar regen is basically worthless over a fight where the mob is slowed and you have Torpor. There is a reason why you don't see Torpor Shaman's wearing a Fungi, which is better than Troll/Iksar Regen.
A standing Troll/Iksar gets 1 free Torpor every 15 minutes, assuming they aren't at full health. The problem is any Torpor Shaman is going to be at full health out of combat, due to Torpor hehe.
EDIT: If you ignore the stun component, then the spell may go through. This is because bash only has a chance to interrupt your spell. The only guaranteed spell interruption on the bash component is the stun. Having a decent percent chance to not get a slow interrupted in the first 30 seconds is much more useful than Troll/Iksar regen, which would only give you 80 HP in the first minute of the fight. That won't save you.
