The problem I see as the main issue with Yorick is that you need to equip 3 stats all at once to be effective/boost your skills to a decent level. You have to buy a whole lot of HP and AD, both of which are ones of the most expensive gain per gold stats in the game, and you need a big mana pool or huge regeneration (no, a Yorick should never et the blue buff imo... his CDs are small enough so it will be wasted on him no matter the team comp) as you run out of mana within seconds in a team fight if you ain´t got a Manamune.

This very high item dependancy leaves him at a really bad spot in early and mid game, similar to Kayle for example. Your endgame can be pretty good to amazing with both of these champs at full equipment, but beforehand especially Yorick just sucks. I don´t think the concept or skills themselves are bad in any way, but the fact he needs tons of gold before getting anywhere near as effective as most other champions keeps him far from being usable at his current state.
