A troll can still be disintegrated*, or killed by Enervation, or have it's constitution reduced to 0 by various means.
A Troll that gains immunity to fire and acid cannot die from hit point loss but he can still die.
Disintegrate has a special clause that if you HP is reduced to 0, you are disintegrated. It doesn't matter if you can be reduced to negatives, all that it matters is that you are reduced to 0 HP; so even a troll can die to this spell.

Actually, regen is very much different from 3.5. In pathfinder, a creature literally cant die as long as it has regen, except for their listed weaknesses. A tarrasque that becomes immune to instant death effect likewise would be unkillable. As long as you cant find a way to remove the immunity that is.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.
but they cannot die as long as their regeneration is still functioning
There aren't any limiters placed on that statement that I can find. It would appear that they CANNOT die by any means unless it includes acid, fire, or some other ability that specifically states that it bypasses or negates regeneration.

You can very easily argue that a Troll thats been disentigrated no longer has a Con score (as you need a body to have a con score), and thus cannot have regeneration anymore.
Disentigrate kills the troll.

Or each grain of dust regenerates into a new troll and now you have a horde on your hands.

I know it worked that way in older editions, I think it's a good thing they removed that. A friend told me how, in older editions, he had a Wizard that diced up a troll and then stuck the ends in specially enchanted jars that would deal only 1 point of damage, constantly, so the trolls couldn't regenerate. He'd carry around a handful of them, and then, if he were ever forced to flee, he would break a couple of jars in a relatively hidden spot, and then teleport away.
Whomever was pursuing him, would then find himself facing down a handful of trolls that were more than likely very, very, very angry.

Nice, very nice.
Good characters get to go to heaven.
That should supposedly be the ultimate goodie.

You describe the lich's point-of-view remarkably well.Perhaps good is for cowards and the unmotivated?
Good is for anti-capitalists.
Evil is for those who are self starters and driven to always improve themselves.
Capitalism is the greatest force for destroying poverty and raising the standard of living for all people. Socialism is hatred of the successful that lowers everyones standard of living.
Sun orchid elixir, anybody?
Ruyan.
Extending your life through necromancy instead of conjuration? Totally evil. :P

Why would my CG character want to go to Heaven? It's so... Lawful up there... *itches*
