I started jungling with Warwick, too, and have been playing Warwick, Nocturne, and Sejuani for the last four months. Nocturne has become my best; I think he's a great champion to follow Warwick with because he also works on life steal and Attack Speed items. They're also both tanky, but Warwick moreso.

I've recently dropped Sejuani and Warwick because Nocturnes level 2 ganks, in Normal games, give me a lot more success. I get one or two kills top every match, living to tell about it, and all I do is take out the Blue Golems for buff and level 2, and then gank top, opening with a Duskbringer to close the gap and buff my auto-attacks, and then using Unspeakable Horror so that my team mate can get some damage in.

At level one, Nocturne's passive is a bit of a nuke, especially with Armor Penetration and Physical Damage runes. When you buff your Attack Damage with your duskbringer and then land an auto-attack for 120% of your Attack Damage. I find that very few level 1 champions can shrug that damage off.

My one biggest recommendation is to not get health items until after Wriggle's Lantern. Nocturne needs to be able to do a lot of damage, because unfortunately he has more chasing tools than he has CC; oftentimes, you'll be able to chase an opponent because of the Movement Speed buff of Duskbringer, but if Unspeakable Horror is on cooldown you'll end up leaving your teammate(s) behind.

You have Life Steal and a spell shield, and you're naturally tanky, with a good clear time and decent sustain. Depending on who you're up against, Damage usually trumps Health/Armour/Magic Resistence, in my experience.

The hardest thing to adjust to, going from Warwick to Nocturne, is surviving in the jungle without Warwick's Godlike sustainability.

Tips for FIGHTING with Nocturne:

-Use Unspeakable Horror (E) while enemies are chasing you, to fear them and get away.

-Always pop Youmuu's Ghostblade. With a Wriggle's and the 3% Life Steal from Masteries, plus your passive, plus the Attack Damage from Duskbringer, you can be healing Fiora style while auto-attacking; faster than they can hurt you.

-Your Ultimate can save lives, just by taking away the vision from your enemies while your teammates are being chased through the jungle.

-Use your W to head first Ashe's Frozen Arrow, Blitz/Nautilus/Amumu grabs, Janna/Morgana stuns, etc. Using Shroud of Darkness like a pro will trade getting hit with a spell for extra Attack Speed; do not underestimate this move!!

-On turrets: Use Duskbringer for the extra Attack Damage, even if there's nothing for it to hit. Use Duskbringer as an escape if you need it. Use Shroud of Darkness if you're attacking a turret and a support comes; you can gain extra Attack Speed and not take much damage while still hitting the turret.
