The original Dakkar implementation is bad. The vast majority of Dakkar role-players misinterpret or misuse the lore to power-game their way into corrupting the original concept in ways that it was never meant to be used. This is partly to blame on my own inadequate writing skills when the first iteration of Dakkar lore came out.
The new lore is more in depth and specializes the Dakkar into a specific mold or niche of gameplay that currently does not exist in our lore, that of the true "Tank" (you could argue that Orcs are tanks, but they are more offensive tanks where we lack a purely defensive race at this point). As with any rewrite, rewrites are done to target the 90% that misuse, with the collateral damage of hurting the 10% that do not. It sounds like a sucky business model, but I find this collateral damage "acceptable" when it comes to the benefits of fixing up messy messy writing.
I'm sorry your character has to change in ways you do not like, but I will not change the plans for personal dislikes/distastes of individual players when the "common good" is what is necessary. The new Dakkar race is fairer in every day roleplay, less liable to have it's entire core concept twisted to suit a player only interested in win-rp and much more in depth with more content and stuff to work on.
