Other AP bruisers/tanky mages do his job better, look at Swain: Ult with similar AoE, harass in lane, level six sustain, can't interupt his ult, and he heals from his ult too. Nunu: Larger AoE and more damage just no taunt, infinite sustain because Nunu, as well as his own little MS/AS steroid for him and probably your ADC. Honestly though, it may also be his play style, he's more of a support/mage hybrid. His tornado his a movespeed boost, less for damage, his bulwark is mainly a defensive spell, this gives him only one primary damage spell. His scalings are kinda low and needs a team to back him up.

He may just not be getting much action, but honestly his kit just hints to support-carry, less AP bruiser/mage.
