He doesn't have a revive. He has a heal and repositioning tool that also happens to contain a significant portion of his damage potential. It's a challenge to use it offensively, and if he doesn't, his damage output is below average for an assassin. Because of this, he has to build hard AP to keep his kill pressure up, and he's squishy outside of the 2-second window when his shield is active. One of his slows, which is also his stun AND his shield, is on a 3-second delay with a short window to trigger the extra effects, and he has to actually be there to do so. His abilities all have moderate to long cooldowns and significant mana costs. As an AP champ, he usually has almost no AA damage, and even his passive has an on-target cooldown, so he is unable to handle extended fights and also extremely vulnerable when low on mana, even when at full health. Even his ult will only save him once before he's forced out of lane.

Yes, balanced. He may need some number tweaks, but there is nothing inherently unfair about his kit.
