crucible stat equalizing? (Destiny)

Does anyone know much about how this works? I guess they are normalizing things to account for level differences and such between players, but what does this mean in terms of skill choices and equipment? For instance, will it simply negate your armor bonuses? And for skills, how does it affect choices that change stats, such as a focus on recovery and speed over health? I guess I'm just wondering how much actual variation between players makes it into the competitive multiplayer.
