I don't quite agree with you on him not being able to be in the middle of a fight (thanks to W). I assume Riot wanted him to be the one who soaks up all the damage for his team - hence his ult. If enemies had a reason to focus him, that could easily be the case.

You're right, however, on the fact that - mostly during early game - he can simply be ignored once he got off all his spells. He becomes playable once he has Athene's and even more threatening once he reaches 35-40% CDR. At that point, he usually doesn't have any problems at all - neither mana nor CD. His only problem is getting to that stage without being too dependent on his team.
