I play all classes, so if the answer varies by class, opinions on that too please. thanks

From a wizard's point of view, life regeneration is generally preferred over LoH. The primary reason for this is; we don't particularly throw out a lot of attacks when we kite and we kite a lot. If we throw out a lot of attacks, enemies have a better chance of catching up. We throw up couple of nukes or high DoT AoE spells and take off. During this time, our life continues to tick back up and considering our typically very small HP pool, could be fairly quickly if we have high health regeneration.Melee wizards on the other hand (those who get in melee range and use spectral blades) will probably prefer LoH more than life regeneration as they are always up close and personal. I do want to clarify here however, I don't mean this to mean forgo one for the other. Both are equally important with the meta of D3.
