For once I do have something to add.

I think that giving the orcs rings of power would have been against the "ethos" of Sauron and Melkor. Melkor mutilated the orcs in mockery and hatered of the elves. Giving them rings of power would have been something akin to acknowledging that they had some inherint value. Something that Melkor and Sauron did not believe.
