Yes, as pointed out above, and to clarify, we were playing using the new Titan Plasma Generation rules which grant Eldar Titans the ability to charge & first fire. The Eldar Titan didn't engage the Gargant in CC but did use charge move to run past the Gargant then spin around (Eldar Titans are agile) to use its firepower to strip the shields and start inflicting damage upon the hapless Gargant.
The problem I'm having with the Orks isn't so much the heavy casualties I am taking as much as the difficulty I am having in capturing objectives and inflicting losses on my opponent. I fully expect to take heavy losses, the high Break Points tell me that in themselves without any need to consult the fluff. In fact, the main reason I have been losing games it is because I have been unable to hold any more than two objectives in any given turn. Even while the body count went through the roof, my Ork mobs have proven resilient and have rarely broken.

Yes, they can win, but as said above, their playing style is different from other armies. This would be apparent if you read the fluff, but since you don't, I can see how you'd miss it.
I don't know if I am being over-sensitive or if I am completely misinterpreting the intention of your post, but this comes across to me as being incredibly patronizing*.
In any event, my understanding of fluff is that it provides the reader with Tolkien
ripped off inspired background information on the 40K universe. I wasn't aware that it contained strategic tips as to how to field and best play your Epic armies. However if you have some fluff that will tell me how to win Epic battles with Orks, I'd be happy to read it.
*The dictionary definition of "patronize" is: "to treat in a condescending manner." Annoying, isn't it?
