The nobs shouldn't get big shootas (or normal shootas for that matter) if they have PKs, as the slugga will give you an extra attack in close combat! Which is really, really good with a weapon that is that powerful with such good ap. Precision shots are cool (I don't ever remember orks using precision shots) but unnecessary for orks as they should spend most of their time in or attempting to get in close combat, so while the big shootas are a good investment for leftover points, they should be given to normal boys imo.

The 'Eavy armour is not really necessary, as your nob will be pretty protected behind ranks of boyz as well as having "look out sir"s to get him out of tight spots. Smart playing is the best strategy to keep them alive

Hmmmmm, I am split with the bikes... While that does sound cool you can take those points and the points you save from heavy armour and bolster that group of ten boys up to 27, I'd bring them up to 20 and then get 1 more big shoota for each mob. Up to you I guess, but warboss' alone usually end up dead unless they have mega-armour, even with the extra toughness the bike gives, and the bike becomes almost useless when moving up the field with a squad on foot.

The kannons are a cool unit, I've never run them effectively but have seen them put to good use. The problem being is that leaves the problem of watering down your strategy, and what I mean by that is that orks don't shoot well, even gretchin, and you will be outgunned unless you spam dakka. Take that with a grain of salt as I have seen balanced lists do well against certain other lists.

Dakkjets hold a special place in my heart and I am severely disappointed you are not running them, but I defer to your judgement.

Lootas are straightforward, shoot stuff dead, then loot it afterward. Whats not to like?

This will probably have trouble with armies like Tau and certain Guard lists, I hear Tau dislike warbikers because they're fast and have a 4+ cover save, but are expensive ($+pts) as heck, but would make a nice unit to put those biker warboss' into.

I guess the main point is: Try not to have a bunch of "this would be useful if-"s taking up points like the armour and bikes, orks are supposed to die, which is why we bring lots of them especially in footslogging lists, when they die there is always 2 more to replace them.
sorry for the long post WAAAAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHHH!
