I totally agree. I play zac alot jungle, and even though i normally do not support any use of the frase "OP", i'd say if anyway one is, zac is! I suppose you can play most champs mid succesfully, but the effeciancy ratio of his abilities against your needs as a mid champ, just doesn't add up. I you are going to try this anyway (and i think you should, you might discover some awesomeness nobody has thought of!) here's a few things i'd do:

1. Go for an equal tank/AP build 15-15-0 masteries. Focusing on as much early game HP and AP as possible. Make your runeset based on flat HP and magic resist.

2. Max your Unstable matter first and don't start leveling your slingshot till lvl. 4.

3. Try to lore minions as far back as you can. Deal dmg with unstable matter but secure the cs with stretching strike. This way you can always scout for a bunch a minions that is out of your opponents reach and just do a quick splash and then run back. In any case you stretching strike should secure your cs good enough, even in a slow farm scenario. (Vs. an aggressive champ like brand for instance.

4. When playing him early game, make sure you ALWAYS pick up your blobs. When you start to get the feeling on how much dmg you are actually doing to your opponent, then try poking him as much as you can. Keeping in mind that every time you do dmg, u get a little more life back than it costs you. Play your cards right and your advantage of not having the need for mana could drain your opponent very quickly. Leaving you still fully loaded ready to shoot ALWAYS. And you even get to heal during all of this.

5. For starting items i'd go for boots and 3 pots. Like commented below, you will have a hard time doing serious dmg to your opponent in comparison to what dmg they can do to  you. So pots will be very usefull. Boots are selfexplanetory, but with Zac they will be even more usefull since if you can get back to your turret just upon dying your passive will kick in. This will insure that you get an extra chance because it makes it very hard for the opponent to kill your blobs behind your turret.

And finally; don't forget that what makes Zac a great jungler can be used exacly as well when he is getting gangs from another jungler. Your CC is still as good on lane as in jungle!

Hope this helps!
