I think he is reasonably competent but drastically underestimates his foes. He sets up the support camp in a poor position, but doesn't worry about it because he has his Forward Camp on the plateau. He's probably a little surprised that WW didn't fall with the first assault (the Shargashi Hellmen should have taken it), but that's ok, we'll just bring in the Bat (thought to be worth several thousand troops in its own right - and invaluable in sieges).  

When the defenders defeat the Bat and overrun the Forward Camp, Jorkandros is more than surprised.
