You're assuming 1500ac is as high as you need to go for it to be useful, but that bar has been raised with PoP. The new skills raised the softcap on AC. So, yes, that extra AC plus the regen does make a difference. I know theres been plenty of times when I wished I had more regen. In fact, I was a little disappointed when they took the effect regeneration off the melee elemental arms. But I got over that

You obviously have not even the smallest of clues about things.
I am an iksar and I max all my stats and then some.

Horseshit.
Sta/Str are the easiest stats to max for melee classes.
Even with my ass gear, my Erudite Paladin's Str/Sta are 255+ on every raid....If i had primal, they would be maxed in any situation.
Speaking of raids, a SK would never be the MT anyway so frontal stun immunity is hardly useful.
Iksar are clearly the 'best', but who really cares... play the race you think looks the best. Erudites and Dark Elves both look pretty sweet, so do humans.

The frontal stun immunity works great for pulling with FD, and it's a definate advantage in many other situations. It's not what makes or breaks the class, but it sure is an advantage.
