It's been a while, but I believe earlier drafts of the Demonhunter leaned more towards light armor since it can be paired with a light armor hood and therefore enable several light armor perks. Then the Dragonborn DLC came out and Snakes was sold on the Nordic Carved with Adept Hood look, and edited the build accordingly. That's why light armor's talked up a good bit in the comments that were posted before Dragonborn. Hope that clarifies things.
