From every guide I've read, it seems to indicate that Iksar is the way to go for the regeneration, but is regeneration really a deal-breaker?

Yes.

Wow! Thank you everyone for your responses! I think it is going to be Necromancer for me then - I didn't realize they brought so much utility in a group setting.

I've always been partial to Dark Elves, but can go Iksar if it makes my life a lot easier down the line.

Here are the regen rates for other necromancer races versus iksar...iksar is the clear 100% way to go for min/max necromancer....

Human Level: standing, feigned, sitting

1-19: 1, 1, 2

20-49: 1, 1, 3

50: 1, 1, 4

51-55: 2, 3, 5

56-59: 3, 4, 6

60: 4, 5, 7

Iksar Level: standing, feigned, sitting

1-19: 2, 2, 4

20-49: 2, 2, 6

50: 2, 2, 8

51-55: 6, 8, 12

56-59: 10, 12, 16

60: 12, 14, 18

The level 60 lich spell takes 20hp per tick and gives you 20 mana....look at how that eats non-iksar necromancers alive. Even with a Zlandicar's Heart (+5 regen) and Belt of Dwarf Slaying (+2 regen) you would still be losing 6hp per tick sitting down. However as an iksar necro you are actually gaining health in that scenario...you will be envious of this if you don't play iksar....

Also int gear is so stacked with int at the end game you will regret playing higher intelligence race if you do end up getting that far....

Just throwing it in here. Magicians are bad either. You can summon EVERYTHING you need and they are easy to play and you can solo without any issues to 60. Plus, if Chardok is still going, you can sign up for IN-DPS at level 54-56 which will help you get to 60 faster.

*whispering* I was able to get in at 54. I had all raid level gear though.
