I HAVE done it before; if you do it right he can hold mid pretty well, even win it if you play your cards right. W protects him from virtually everything, he has pretty good harass with his Q, and if you have armor pen runes and can get close enough for Fear, it's pretty much a guaranteed kill.

HOWEVER.... it's not something I'd recommend, a melee like Talon can do it a little better than Nocturne in some aspects. But if you do mid as Nocturne, his shield will undoubtedly become your best friend.
