Edit: I think I can explain the reasoning for some of his changes.

-Bone armour: As TLOMM said, it looks more realistic to have the skull like that.

-Utumno: Gruk thought the old one looked too "magic" and stereotypically "evil fantasy", not fitting for orcs in such a long-abandoned place.

-Dalish: The new one is supposed to look more Germanic-styled, I think. I agree with him on this. The original design didn't really feel "Dalish" and in fact there were a lot of complaints about it back when Beta 28 came out, if you can remember.

-Dol Guldur: Probably a similar reason to Utumno, I'm not entirely sure.

-Mordor, Near Harad, Rohan, Dorwinion, Half-troll: I haven't seen any negative feedback on those, and since it's human nature to focus on the negatives more than the positives, I suppose that means those new armours have been well-received. Hooray! I like all of the new textures, but the only thing that bugs me about Utumno is that the straight lines don't fit Orcs. If it were similar to the other Orc armors, I would have no complaints.
