Warrior Enchantment is a boring item.

It's a ball of stats. Gold efficient stats, but stats nonetheless. With Runeglaive we've got the sheen passive, with Cinderhulk we've got the sunfire passive, with Devourer we have the Devourer passive, but Warrior gets nothing but stats.

I suggest making the Warrior enchantment have a tiamat passive that's modified to excel in the jungle. Increased cleave damage to monsters and a cooldown that is lowered based on autos vs monsters. The stats would of course have to come down to compensate, but overall I think it'll be a stronger item, and certainly a more exciting item. Plus there isn't a single champion that uses warrior now that would be nerfed by it gaining the tiamat passive and active.

Potential build path, stats, and pricing:

Tiamat (1250) + Tier 2 jungle item (1050) + 500 combine cost = 2800 gold

40 AD (10 more than Tiamat) 100% health regen (50% more than Tiamat) Autoattacks passively cleave in an area, doing 25-75% of the user's total ad depending on how close they are. Monsters take 75-125% of the user's total ad instead.

Active: The next three basic attacks will increase the size of the cleave. The damage from the cleave heals the user for 50% of the damage done.

Fix'd. Really thought someone was gonna say Kindred, but that's a casualty I'm willing to sacrifice for the greater good. If Fiddlesticks can make do with Runeglaive, Kindred can make do with Devourer.

For the record, it wasn't me who downvoted you. But in response, allow me to further explain my thinking as it was directly influenced by the tiamat changes.

Tiamat's been lowered in cost to 1250 as compensation for the loss of 10 ad, 50% health regen, and the cleave passive. In the same patch, Warrior's gone up in cost to 2625, lost the armor pen, and gained 15 ad. Right now the only thing warrior provides that the other enchants don't is 60 ad. That's it. Boring.

Now with Tiamat in the build path you've got 30 AD and 50% health regen increased as stats. The build could just be Tiamat + tier 2 jungle item + 500 gold = total cost of 2800 with stats like 40 ad, 100% health regen, and the cleave passive/active modified for jungler (less damage to champions, more damage to monsters)

There you have it, a relatively cheap hydra item specifically for warrior junglers.

I'd LOVE an AD Cleave item for the jungle.

That's kinda the point. All of the junglers that build warrior are also the ones that tend to be strong early and reliant on snowballing to win games before they get outscaled. Warrior is very useful in that pursuit. An item that helps with scaling makes no sense for those AD junglers since they get outscaled by their Devourer, Runeglaive, and Cinderhulk counterparts anyway.
