Jhin + item 3147 = Support?

With the recent changes to Duskblade in Patch 7.14, is Jhin support a viable option for AP heavy teams? http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-714-notes

Pros High damage output/range Long range CC and catch potential Traps for help with vision Duskblade vision control

Cons Squishy Immobile No heals/shields Double AD lane

Theory Good kit and base damage for laning phase Heavy objective/vision control Provide ranged support while staying safe Additional source of damage for teamfights

Example Builds summoner 4 summoner 3 item 3364 - all builds item 2301 item 3158 item 3147 item 3142 item 3036 item 3026 budget poke build - not for trading item 2301 item 3006 item 3147 item 3812 item 3046 item 3139 brawl build - heavy trading item 2302 item 3117 item 3147 item 3071 item 3033 item 3153 tank shredding build - helping from the backline item 2301 item 3006 item 3147 item 3031 item 3094 item 3046 critical strike build - crits on crits on crits

I realize there is a small market for AD supports, but let me know what you think of Jhin as a support.

The biggest problem is gold income. It will be very hard to get those items to make it work. His CC isn't particularly the best either having very short duration against only 1 target.

Cooldowns and gold income are going to be the biggest issue. The nature of jhins kit is going to make getting spelltheif stacks a pain unless the enemy is seriously misplaying.

On-hit things feel feel pretty wasted on him, so I don't like that black cleaver/bork build, and the rest are super expensive.
