Dealing with Lane Warwick?

I'm pretty sure most people are playing WW jungle, but what are you supposed to do against him in lane?

From what I can tell, his basic pattern consists of "hide in bush->Q for ~100-300 damage->repeat" Dueling him seems like a matter of hoping you can either negate his healing or heal more; when he gets his ult he can bring himself almost all the way back to full health with just R+Q. This is mostly an issue for tanks with low damage/high mana costs like Malphite, and it's not nearly as bad when WW is jungling. Recently, I got put against a jungle WW as Nasus. He had item 1401 item 3748 item 1031. I had ~450 stacks at ~30min, couldn't put a dent in his health bar. Another game, as Garen against a top WW, laning was as described above, but he died really quickly when he wasn't on someone. The big problem in both scenarios was him jumping on our mid/ADC and

A) becoming way harder to kill B) removing our only real burst/dps from the fight.

(It should be noted that this is only two games, and in the first I was the only one with tank stats, and in the second one our Kha'zix built one AD item and three item 1031, among other things.) That said, is the solution just playing Darius Jax Jayce or praying for ganks and taking ignite?

item 3123 Or item 3165 helps. Ward the bush he is harassing from and if you are ranged AA him to harass.
