After switching my dogs food to Evo his poop has become almost.. powdery. Its kind of hard to explain but.. It looks like normal poop and the only reason I know it is powderish (Is that a word?) is because when I picked it up at the dog park it crumbled.. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
It is not soft like diarrhea, or hard, it is "crumbly".

Have you been giving your dog a lot of bones? Is the poo discolored?
Raw meat for dogs is a lax. You might want to try feeding some veggies, such as carrots to help firm the poo up
Or 1 tablespoon of bran per feeding.

He doesn't get bones or any treats (The vet recommended we not since we found a food he doesn't itch on and I shouldn't give him anything other than that) he gets carrots or cucumbers as treats though, I guess he'll be happy to know he is going to be getting more of his favorite treat. I'll try giving him some bran, he may look at me like I've gone crazy but we'll see.

Dogs should like the taste of bran. Its very sweet.
