Top Gragas?

I'm just curious, why isn't Gragas used top more? I've been playing him a bit recently and it works so well! Start with a RoA, then a Sunfire Cape (or Randuins) and Spirit Visage as your core. After that, you're free to build whatever, his kit offers him damage (W) and utility (Q (slow), E (disrupt), R (do I really need to explain?) to a point where you can either build full tank (and still do damage with the RoA and SFC), or if you have a tanky support/jungler, you can build a bit more on the damage side (I like Rylais for the bonus utility, AP and health). But shoot, I can even go with Zhyonas or Rabadon's simply because he scales decently with AP. Here is a game i played with him I while back (When I was S5, now S3): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeKaz0Pxy3E] Warning though, I'm not the most skilled player and I'm awkward on camera :P (P.S. 18:55-19:10 is my favorite part ^_^)

tl;dr - Why don't I see more Gragas top?

Hes been nerfed a shit ton and is meh now. He is still decent but is being outclassed now. Rumble does what he does but better.

Just late to the game is all...he was the fotm top laner about 3-4 months back for a short period of time...then some small nerfs just made him not as efficient so you saw a lot less of him. He obviously still works well with certain comps.
