After playing him a few times my first impression is that he is pretty fun. However, people like to focus him down in fights and he's pretty naturally squishy so build tanky. His E is pretty underwhelming, but if you have enough AP/Lich bane his Q is awesome. You stand in the middle of teamfights spamming slowing everyone. I'm thinking of going aura/offtank actually, because as a DPS his output and ratios are pretty meagre, and its quite hard to carry with him cause of his short range and his inability to remove focus fire. I usually run sheen, giants belt and mercs for first items, then go abyssal, rylais and lich bane. If you're doing well throw in a guinsoo's or even a tri-force if you want, but I find that the tri-force isn't as effective on him as lich bane
