This is just from what I've learned, and what I think. If you have any 15k Armor pics I'll add them to the list at the bottom. Please include Nation-Armor-Profession. I have a few unidentified armor sets, if you know them please post their name.
Each nation has an Armor style...
-Cantha
-Kurzick
-Luxon
Using Warrior as an example: They have Gladiators, Dreadnoughts, Sentinel, Knights.. Etc etc... All the armors. But they will all come in the Armor style of the nation.
Canthan warriors look like this:

Luxon warriors look like this:

Kurzick warriors look like this:

Then there is 15k armor, each 15k armor has a unique look. Then theres Luxon 15k armor sets and Kurzick 15k armor sets.
Questions that still exist:
I am a little iffy on Ritualist and Assassin though. Each existing profession gets 3 skins per nation then 3 15k nation skins, but Assassins and Ritualists have a combination of 6 skins.. I think Assassasins and Ritualists get the traditional way of Guild Wars armor, despite where you are; X armor has X skin or B armor has B skin, so no B armor having X skin.
I also do not know how the Factions "Pre-Searing" armor will proposed. If each profession gets a collectors armor or it can be crafted, This would also require the knowledge of how high of a level you can get in the Factions "Pre-Searing".
15k Armor List:
15k Kurzick (Not Sure) Chest & Leggings Mesmer
15k Kurzick (Not Sure) Assassin
15k Kurzick Sentinel Helm & Chest Warrior
15k Kurzick Pyromancer Elementalist
15k Kurzick Minion Master Necromancer
Factions 15k Armor Verification

I sure hope people see this. Tired of explaining it...
Anyway, good explanation you have there (better than mine), the only flaw being that we don't know anything for sure.
Regardless, I am of the same belief as you on this matter. Anet said they'd give us 3 new armors per profession, and that's what we're seeing.
Personally I think it's a great system. Mix and match without losing looks.
Now; are there any 15k Canthan armors out there? If there is, I wouldn't mind a screenshot.

That Luxon warrior armor looks awesome, but I'm not going to get it because EVERYONE will have it, kinda like how EVERYONE has full glads with ascalon helm.
Anyways, you have anything about statistics on them yet?

Cade: I highly doubt "EVERYONE" will be using the Luxon armor, unless they have to. I think it looks ridiculous, and I hear ALOT of people with the same opinion.

What I am confused on is this. Judging by what is shown in the PvP creation screen with the 3 new armors, using the warrior as an example, each class gets 3 new armors with the new abilities. Such as Beserker gets +Life, Sentinel gets high armor, Legionaire gets something else.
I understand, and agree with you how there is Canthan armor, Luxon armor, and Kurzick. However my question is, will there be the ability to get the beserker +life ability on say the Kurzick armor skin?
They should have it be like...
Canthan armor ---> Beserker
Sentinel
Legionaire
Kurzick armor -----> Beserker
Sentinel
Legionaire etc...
This is where I'm confused, because I like the look of the "Canthan" Armor, but with the +life mod. Plus i dont like another skirt for the warriors.
If anyone has any clarification on it please feel free to comment.

Sooooo! AWEsOME! 
I'm very happy about how they implimented this system! Now I can be as creative (with looks) as I'd like, and can still use any of the different statistical armor mixes that are best for my builds.

I do, however, understand the confusion. I think it's mainly because PvP, in general, doesn't give a damn about looks and therefor they just gives you each mod with one armor set.
Annoying? Yes, but luckily it most likely only works that way in PvP. In PvE, it'll work like Nevin explained. So yes, you WILL be able to use the skin with just the mods you like.
Lucky us, huh?

For my warrior, I'm definately getting a set of the 15k Cantha armor, and then mix in the 15k Sentinel Chestpiece (gladiator stats) to replace my Gladiator's chestpiece (The bikini is just toooo revealing) and maybe the 15k Sentinel Helmet too^^
pbspectre
is it just me or do the 1.5k and 15k sentinel armors looks the same except for the chestpiece and helm?
still cool either way, but they don't look all that much different...

My favorite looking armor in the whole game is the current 15k Ranger drakescale armor. I haven't seen much here that really impressed, but I will say that I think Anet has done a good job detailing the new armors.

^Rogmar the new armour is going to be like fow so you can switch stats but keep the same skin

Personally, I'm going to wait until either someone from ANet informs us that it is like this, or until the game is released. We have absolutely no proof that it is like this. Remember the "placeholder" skills...they were placeholders, until Gaile came and told us otherwise. As far as I'm concerned, these are placeholder skins, and I'll be able to buy any skin from either side.

This article makes some suggestions that armor skins are faction exclusive:
"Each culture produces its own designs, which are fashioned with an eye toward defending against the specialized weapons of enemy factions."

The article says that this style was influence by this faction, and that each side produces it's own designs...but being a mercentile society (as it stated in the article) wouldn't their designs be traded AT LEAST in Cantha common areas? I'm not saying it's one way or another till it comes right out and says, you can only buy this skin from this faction, but I'm still leaning toward the placeholder theory.
Rebel Dragon
WTF I WANT THAT 15k SENTINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TheMosesPHD
Mother of blood...I will have that 15k Kurzick warrior armor...
...I can't stop thinking about it...
...I can't stop thinking about it...
Lady Lozza
lol I'm drooling over the Kurzick 15k for my mesmer.
Nevin
Seems the 15k Sentinel is the favorite thus so far. :P
Da Cebuano
I love that sentinel skin especially the 15k version, so if I can get them in gladiators, so much the better.
Dragonheart
so does anybody have luxon 15k pics?
Rayea
um, if the factions visible armours are anytihng to go by...
not *EVERYONE* gets a full 3 style set.
Necro armour only showed up as 2 diferent styles....
(if i remember right)
whereas everyopne else got all their 3 styles of armour....
(wont mind if they were just finishing the last parts of the last necro armour and hadnt done it by the freebe trial though)

{IceFire}
IMO they just havent made the different skins for each armor, so they just made all luxon like beserker etc. but i dont know.

waaait...you mean i could get Sentinel armor ([email protected]) WITH the energy boost from Glads?!?!
wonder if the +20 vs Physical would be there too...
denshuu
No. The point is that the stats and the look of the armor are independent.
