Solo self found melee shaman race?

99.9% of your effectiveness at facetanking will be your spells, melee might do a little. Ogre will maybe get interrupted slightly less. However with all that being said, Barbarian will level 15-20% quicker than all the other shaman races. Regen is useful at level 1-4, then again when you get the canni line, it has a very minimal affect on facetanking, I'd value AC over Regen when picking between troll and iksar when it comes to facetanking.
