first off i did it in a custom game to see the clear speed and to see how healthy he is after his first clear. i used life steal quints, armor yellows, ad reds, and mr per level blues, masteries were 6-6-18, with strength of the ages, feast and runic affinity. tho i may change feast with expose weakness. so his first clear is fairly slow since you have to make sure to last hit with your q. im still trying to figure out optimal rout for his clear, but you need to either do buffs first, raptors or wolves to make the minions. i have found that dragon is a cake walk at level 6 taking 0 damage from it because of maiden. once you have hit 6 the clearing speed skyrockets, and you dont take damage as long as you have maiden with you. for my item i went warrior enchant with chilling smite. chilling smite so you have a better chance of landing w, and warrior so i dont passively kill small neutral creeps with cinder, and im not too sure how good bloodrazor is. also i went refill potion but did not upgrade it since after your first back you dont even need it. as for the build afterwards i think black cleaver is good since your minions will proc the armor reduction, i would also build dead mans plate and steraks, and go for swifty boots or treads. as for his first clear, since i didnt have anybody for leashing there were a couple of times where i got fairly low 100-150 hp, but once you get a hold on microing last hits with q it becomes rather safe, just slow.

Too slow and easely counterable pre 6 ... he can but it doesn't mean he should ... he is wasted in jungle when he can dominate top lane

Don't the ghouls follow the Lane? I see that as a problem

the way i look at it is if he gets a good gank on bot and gets a kill or 2 then they just lose tower, and honestly since his jg is fairly safe it would be hard for anybody to actually counter gank him if he has minions. they do so much damage.
