First of all, he is fabulous. He it outragous!

Now his skills:
Passive: Deals 20 bonus damage per hit, raising with Level, on level 11, it was 70. So, quite a punch. Armor scaling: 8% per hit Reduces Cooldowns by 1s per hit. 2 hits no cooldown does not stack
Q: Heal per stack: 10/20/30/40/50 CD: 15 on all ranks for one stack, reduced by 3 for every hit with the passive. Mana: 60/80/100/120/140 AP scaling: 20% HP Scaling: ~1.5%
His worst ability in my eyes, its expensive and honestly, only usefull when you can heal at least 2 additional targets, plus the cooldown is heavy, to get all 3 stacks back, you have to wait 45 seconds, unless you use your passive, but even then, it will drain your mana very fast. AoE sucks, you have to cuddle the champions you want to hit with it (Alistars roar AoE is bigger)
W: Bonus Armor for yourself: 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% Shield on target: 8/9/10/11/12% of THEIR maximum health. Mana: 60 on all ranks CD: 14 on all ranks.
Can be cast on yourself. Your abilities are duplicated on the target. (no effect when you cast it on yourself)
I love that ability, especially used on tanks its so awesome. Not that great for squishys, since the shield is based on the targets HP, but still good. Might be worth to be maxed first.
E: Stun duration: 0.75/1/1.25/1.5/1.75s Damage: 60/105/150/195/240 Armor scaling: 15% AP scaling: 50% CD:18/17/16/15/14s Mana: 60 on all ranks
Does NOT root you while you cast, you can move without any restrictions. Fixed direction once you cast it, will always stick to your character model. (kinda like poppys second Q burst) AOE! Stuns EVERYONE who is in hit range when it goes of. Doesnt seem to have any drawbacks for hitting multiple enemys. Can hit Minions and Monster camps. Not tested on Dragon or Baron. (guess it just deals the damage)
R: 2.5s Casttime, 2.5s Duration Mana: 100 on all ranks CD: 140/115/90s
Again, you can move freely while waiting for the cast to go of. Kinda hard to use, not a real big AoE...
I guess he could still be played solo top, since only his Q really benefits from the double cast, and his damage isnt that bad when you utilize the passive.
I would leave Q on Level 1 until you have nothing else to skill, just so you can cast it for your passive, the spell itself is not really worth skilling, as it will only drain your mana.
Skill order suggestion: W-E-Q and after that skill W>E>Q and Ult on 6/11/16
