He can work mid. Quite well, actually, but he does wonders when laning with a carry that has some cc. Caitlyn, Ashe for sure, but probably also Tris and Vayne...

Moreover, bot you are not the primary target (and you build tank), so you have a little more time to unleash your combo. You are still a mage, but the skillshots are easier to place when you don't need to last-hit and someone else helps with the initial cc. Classic is ashe's arrow, followed by your w+Q+E combo and finally your awsome R.

The only advantage Vel has wrt other mages that go bot is that he doesn't need AP to deal his damage and is not really sacrificing much damage going bot.
