But does she counter anything specifically?

Orianna counters most melee champions because Orianna can just auto harass and kite. For example she is a very strong counterpick to Katarina, because Orianna can literally max E first and auto Kat to death. She also has a fairly strong MS steroid that allows her to escape a lot of ganks with ease (not Lee Sin though; fuck Lee Sin).

Against other champions of comparable range Orianna is pretty weak imo... especially because her spells are all AOE and had to be balanced around the fact that they are AOE. Cassiopeia and Syndra eat Orianna like breakfast.

It's been said (mostly talking about wit's end) that the damage junglers were falling out of favor, mainly because of farm distribution (and the fact that they aren't picked with more supporrty mids or tops).
So who'd you run if you had, say, Malphite top? Good burst, utility, cc, but damage falls off lategame. Shyvana and Mundo could easily taker over Malph's farm once he's got his major items, Nocturne has the same drawback of falling off later, notably in damage. Nautilus, Maokai and similar are out of the question since they're basically the same archetype as Malph. Hecarim, Skarner maybe?

I feel like Skarner is one of the strongest "tanky damage" junglers. Getting fed or having a tank on your team means you can get TF fast and do stupid amounts of damage, or if you end up needing to be tankier he thrives with stuff like Wit's, FH, and GA.

You can look into more "bruiser" junlgers if you think you can really afford a damaging jungle. Jax is very powerful in a lot of solo queue comps, Darius can do well if played right, and Riven comes up every now and then (though really needs snowball more than the other two, imo). I see Jax in comps where you have things like Singed or Malph top and someone tanky mid like Vlad, Galio, or Swain.

udyr is similar to skarner in terms of damage.
I usually build wit's after double gp10 and boots2 and he does pretty decent dmg.

Why isn't amumu played on competitive level?
He is probly the jungler with highest winrate on ranked games (saw that on lolking a while ago).
I know he is vulnerable to counterjungling and blue dependant early, but Nautilus is like him on those aspects and he was very popular before he got nerfed.

If no one has gone through them yet, I highly suggest going through all the player interview Pluto did at LoL playoffs.. Very good questions, and well thought out interviews.

In terms of jungle dominance, in organized games this depends much more on the lanes than just the jungler v jungler matchup.
