^ I usually preferred Tiger jungle, but Phoenix + Gromp buff is just very nifty for early runs. Of course it works for both of Udyr's paths. I tend to take points in Tiger when both Phoenix is at least level 3 or 4 and i wanna opt for another enchantment instead of Devourer (Warrior or Juggernaut, though Jugg is usually skipped when getting early Merc's)

Taking Devourer over Magus would pretty much mean 40 less shield strength. Just don't forget the shield also scales with def. Hourglass has the perfect stats for this, actually...
