I like the new design. Like HellKnight said, the old one felt a bit "too much" for me. If Eredin will really have an intimidating personality, then I think having a not-so-extravagant appearance is better for the overall impression.
A bad guy that's scary without looking over the top is much more powerful, to me, than a bad guy who's scary and looks like your regular evil lord.
Kind of like Emhyr. He has a very strong presence in the trailer, without looking like a million orens. Dressing extravagantly, I feel, would have taken away from his aura. As if he's trying to compensate.
