Again it’s personal preference but I feel ogre is superior to troll as an endgame shaman. Shaman killing is attrition warfare if you can get a mob down 85% you can do the other 15%. FSI + Greater stats > Regen + long cast short duration snare clickie imho.

Yes, I'm well aware of your incredibly bad bard tips on character creation. Anyway, the idea is that the extra tick of snare time will create enough separation between the mobs so when you log back in you can grab the furthest one away from camp without aggroing the others. it's 30 seconds to camp and 36 seconds of snare. You can sometimes do this with just root on a non-troll but you need a much, much larger area to park/stagger the mobs and is usually not viable in dungeons. For trolls it is viable even in dungeons.

And it doesn't sound like you have played a shaman at 60 against high end content. The idea the last 15% of health is meaningless because you managed to get it that low is completely idiotic. It's very easy to start getting a bunch of resists on your slow and easily get fucked over by running out of mana/health shortly thereafter.
