Dr. Mundo ult... just an in-combat Warmog's heart?

That's pretty much the gist of it, not to mention Mundo's main weakness is Grievous Wounds (and being kited and lack of utility/scaling). Really hope that HE gets an update/rework soon. At least apply a new "true healing" buff. Much like how "true" damage isn't mitigated (armor mitigates phys, MR vs magic), "true healing" could perhaps be unmitigated healing (unaffected by GW/ignite). Either way, lackluster ult on a lackluster champion. Shoot make his passive scale like Garen . His passive just isn't unique enough anymore. If a team gets an Ocean Drake buff, they essentially have Mundo passive (albeit needs to be OoC).

Actually...I can imagine a neat mini-game with his passive called "Adrenaline Rush", where if he takes X dmg in Y seconds (burst basically), he goes berserk and gains ms+atk speed. OR he would have a "resource bar" (think Vladimir ) that builds up every time he takes damage, maxed out bar = berserk mode. Perhaps give him old Maokai ult where he stores damage taken and deals it right back when resource bar is full (or just replace his ult with old Mao ult). I mean, being THE madman of Zaun, abilities called sadism, masochism and [burning] agony, it makes sense to go enraged. I know the MR stacks on E works similar to this way but at least he will have an interesting passive than just HP regen that's a weaker version of Garen's.

I think the big problem for Mundo at the moment is the accessibility of Grievous Wounds. most mages rush morellos, an adc can easily fit an 800 gold executioners, assuming they are going even or better in lane, and now with the new thornmail, tanks get a 900 gold tech option for playing against Mundo. Before Bramble Vest, Mundo could easily win most tank matchups with all his % health damage and constant healing, for 2100 gold, a Spectre's Cowl(to stop q poke) and a Bramble Vest Shuts him out completely.

While that is true about accessibility of Grievous Wounds, it's also fair to say that grievous wounds is only effective because of how dependent his kit is on healing. Maokai ZacGragas have healing in their kits but they bring teamfight utility, though the reason is they are Vanguards hence the Tank update. Maybe I just don't know what Mundo's role is lol. Many tanks do % health damage, max hp vs Mundo's current hp % but just not as spammable, unless you're shen ;) I'm no Mundo expert but that's my 2 cents

The issue is that he deals a significant amount of damage to himself to access his Ultimate in the first place.

mundo would've been immortal w/o grevious wounds and suggesting true healing is bad. u can see what darshan does on mundo in lcs. mundo needs overall change and a bit far away from healing tank who deals % magic damage and gets 300 ad for free.

Grievous wounds on a tank that relies on a healing ult is much like a Trundle ult on a tank, but GW can be continuously applied, that's what makes Mundo bad. It might be better to make the GW on item 3123 /item 3033 work like item 3165 does, only applying GW when below a certain health threshold.

mundo has always been a garbage champion always will be. Doesnt output the damage needed to carry. Hes closest to decent in the jungle.

Mundo hasn't always been a "bad" champion, back in season 4 through late season 5 he saw quite a bit of play, and as mentioned above, he was even played in the LCS.
