Elise changes on PBE look promising!

As a jungler, I'm curious to see how these new changes will affect Elise. For the most part, they appear to be a step in the right direction in terms of power.

From what I gather, the changes are designed to make her Spider Form more centered around on-hit burst damage drain tanking akin to how Warwick works. In addition, the upcoming re-works of various AP items could make her a very very nastily effective AP bruiser.

However, the changes don't give Elise any synergy between her Spider and Human forms. Human is distinctly mage, slow with some decent CC and current HP burn, while her Spider form is focused on mobility and bursting down/drain tanking her enemies while in melee range.

While I think this is a good healthy buff for her, I'm still quite wary considering her sort of split-personality archetyping, which isn't doing her much good.

What if they gave her cocoon a sort of Nidalee hunt effect? Maybe more damge for spider form when she hits someone with it?

A Reset on her Spider From CD when hitting Cocoon would make her much more fluid to play.

So would shortening the CD in general. If she's supposed to have six spells in exchange for having no ult, why is there a substantial CD that locks her out of three of them?

Edited to add: but I'm actually even more interested in how the item changes will affect her. Runeglaive seems like it could be really good, not to mention the big bunch of AP item changes that seem to mostly be buffs to builds that aren't just Deathcap, Zhonya, Ludens (while at the same time not really nerfing that build either compared to AD or tanks). Not sure if those are coming this patch though.
