Shockingly for a website of their size they literally too this info from a poster on the Bethesda Forums! This info is actually from Sammuthegreat and is already posted in the eorogamer thread. Pretty cheeky not even sure if they gave him credit.
One of the two Skyrim information/compilation heroes of UESP!
Steadily maintaining my 0 post average!
Right. In Oblivion didn't it work to a similar effect? Reducing physical damage taken by attacks? I remember the Bretons had some unique race ability like that.
Histskin is an ability to rapidly recover some health, Battlecry makes enemies flee for a short while, and Claw Attacks mean that they do more damage with hand-to-hand.

He didn't quote the whole article, just the information. They credit Sammuthegreat in the intro paragraph.
OT: Chance to disintegrate with shock spells if target has less than 10% hp! Awesome!!!!

Haha. :p I just copied and pasted this from my phone while I was walking home this morning from a friends. I found it interesting and thought I'd post it quick.

This is what I think. It seems that usually skills have 5-step perk tree to double (+100%) the efficiency, which would mean that you would carefully choose what skills you develop with perks (as you have limited number of those to be used). This of course would mean that skills in which you have not sacrificed perks are not going to be as useful as their value would indicate.
The problem is that in some categories you can get not only +100% , look at heavy armor, 5 points = 100% , a full set = + 25% and all heavy is another + 25% this means a full developed heavy armor gives you 150-200% more armor (depends if additive or multiplicative) this seems like a very heavy change.
Another example could be steahlt, you get 6 times the damage for 1 handed , I hope that the endperk of 15 times dagger damage replace the former perk or it would be crazy.
