I think part of it may be that his back is hunched a bit too much.
You're right on all counts. His steps really are too large, and that's why the discrepancy between each frame is more noticable. Consider also that this walk cycle is made of 8 frames, while Trum's cycle, with steps far les drastic, is 12. I wish I had noticed your "caveman" comment before. The only attitude I thought this animation resembled was that of a badass biker, so that's why I made it into a Ben look-alike. A caveman would've been far more original. But anyway, here's the animation I drew over the stickman (not cleaned up, or colored yet).
