5. On the other hand, anti-melee really is the one thing they lack for, aside from tier-2 Ogryn.

7. Other than a glorified scout squad, I don't really see what use the Catachan Jungle Fighters are.

Catachans are apparently kickass at melee, putting out something like 180 power melee dps. They are your anti-melee, along with sentinels.
8. The baseline Imperial Guard infantry unit is flat out terrible.

Just like the space marines, their headline unit is kind of shitty and their supporting units are great. Two fully upgraded GM squads take like 60+ popcap which is absurd. How are you supposed to make an appreciable GM mass like this?
9. Why the FUCK would I spend 5 population cap on a bunker?
They added deployable bunkers and in the same expansion a hard counter (manticores) that's so hard deployable bunkers might as well not exist. As if building weren't already death traps post T1.

Still enjoying the game. Auto-reinforce + trukk has upped my ork game considerably. It's a lot of fun playing orks given 80% of players are IG these days.
