He duels alright, I give you that, but he isn't really going to win any awards to best duelist nor he will stand any chance against more duel oriented carries such as Graves, Vayne or even Urgot because his DPS is just so bad. As I said, his optimal maxing is never his W and even if it was, he would still suffer from having no real damage from his other skills UNLESS he first maximizes his W stacking every single time he needs to fire a spell and that slows his DPS pretty heavily. I give you that he can definetly duel due to GW on his E and his Ultimate, but really, he would just straight out lose to any of those three marksman I just mentioned.

He does however has a powerful teamfight prescense which is something that I mentioned before. Is just that he offers nothing else besides strong teamfight prescense. Miss Fortune is an AoE Teamfight Moster and Ashe is a Teamfight Utility based carry. If Varus is to be a TankBuster Teamfighting oriented Hyper Carry, kinda like a amalgamation of Kog'Maw and Vaye that isn't as powerful, then, it doesn't capture that fantasy. If Varus is supposed to be a powerful Duel oriented Hyper carry then he still fails because he is just an alright duelist. He lack depth to his identity.
