The gust affecting allies is actually good for Galio. It buffs his ability to initiate, since the gust makes it at least slightly easier for his allies to follow him into battle. Also, making Galio more selfish is actually segregation of story and gameplay. Galio's current kit makes sense in his lore, in that he wants to protect his allies, hence the AoE taunt, shield, and speed boost. Going in the opposite direction of this, making him more support rather than mage, would make sense for him as a character. Dunno how one would go about that, though.

I like your idea for the Q, though. Eye lasers for the win.

While I understand why you picked the passive you did, since it's basically a more active version of his last one, but as another user noted below, it's just too reliable for winning trades, especially in the early game, especially on a champ with every incentive to build MR. Also about the W, you get armor for building magic resist. That's sort of stat conversion, isn't it? Even if it's just for a little while...should probably give it an AP scaling instead? Those are my thoughts on it.
