Do you really think 3rd level is his strongest moment of laning?

Building 2/3 defenses and 1/3 damage is absolutely enough to not let anyone ignore your damage. Squishy enemies die really quickly. Tanks can't stand too long cause he deals all three types of damage and has a built-in penetration. And you can trust me, Hemorrhage is something you must consider while fighting against Dunkrius.

He is indeed extremely strong - in terms of damage. And has surprisingly good utility with defense stats. If he had some insane mobility, he would be just unstoppable. Simple, high risk, high reward - it's not like Lee Sin with every single ability as good escape. You actually have to think before entering a fight.

Ah, right. "just land a slow". Just. Just a nearly infinite slow after hitting 5th stack.

Mana problems? Don't miss Decimate all the time. If the enemy has just too great sustain, get a mana potion and ask for ganks. Late game mana problems are nonexistent - Frozen Heart is all you need.

And, as Shaw said - Guillotine can't be EVER ignored.
