Xin Zhao has an attack speed buff only beaten by Tristana which also reduces his cooldowns AND has a pretty ridiculous passive effect that isn't even lost on cooldown anymore, a 75 AD bonus (for three attacks, but on a negligible cooldown with his W buff AND it ends in a knockup), and an AoE 40% slow attached to one of the best dashes in the game. The guy hardly even needs items. He can just focus armor pen and take down the tank in seconds, which will be even easier if he laned against the tank and zoned him for the entire laning phase (which has happened to me multiple times). Now, this would be fine if he could be stunlocked and killed, but no. A well-timed ult will give him a free force of nature (in addition to his natural mr growth, which most champions don't have) and a free 70 armor as well. I think his ult is still ridiculous. He has too much damage, too much innate survivability, too short of cooldowns, too good of an early game, and too much CC for one champion. Cut down on any one of those (getting rid of the CDR per hit from his W would probably be enough, why the hell is that there in the first place), and he'll be fine, but as it is he just does too much too well for too little.
