I would just change his ultimate so that he cleaves in front of him in a cone and in a small area around him while it's active. Give's it more use, buffs his team fight potential, synergizes with lifesteal. After that, I don't think he would need too much more to be viable.

His current issue is that he's just not a threat because he doesn't have the gapclosing to hurt squishys, and nothing to actually chase them beyond the Q and an easy to dodge slow, and no way to actually threaten the tanks. In that regard, either max health damage (Physical) on his ult, or increased life steal on his attacks, would allow him a much easier time dealing with tanks if they want to just, well, tank him.

Then again, we're all ignoring the much more obvious answer to all of these problems; 5 AD and max health true damage. The perfect catch all balance solution.
