Fiddlesticks in the jungle. . good?

in patch 4.21, it is written that Fiddlesticks is: "certainly a pretty big (terror) given the current jungle environment," so they made changes that make him, in my opinion, a bit weaker.

But I don't think Fiddlesticks is terribly strong in the current jungle.

Because he's mostly using his drain spell, he makes few auto attacks, and misses out on the damage from the jungling item. As well, since he naturally keeps his health high, he's not benefiting from that aspect of the item, either, nor does he benefit from smiting red.

The current jungling environment creates the scenario where, unless I enter a long gank without casting spells, I either have to return to base, or I will be too short on mana to take the second blue. Of course you ideally want to make a lot of action on the battlefield and have to go back around 6:30 anyway, but now you're choice to stay on the field is much more limited.

I don't see anything about the current jungle that makes Fiddlesticks a powerful choice. Especially when you could be picking Lee Sin, instead.
