Skarner's rework sounded as nuts as he was played, and as much as the other Juggernauts, what kept lecture irking was the force Dominion build into the kit.

And the thing is: The purposes of the kit can be performed healthier and more uniquely by other champions.

You want a non-damaging CC/Utility mage? There's Bard, Janna, Lulu and Zilean (Specially Bard). You want a combo-dependent burst mage with CC? There's Lissandra, Anivia, Veigar, Orianna, Vel'Koz, etc.

Your kit has high burst, that's true, but is too gated and is outshined by other APCs, and justifying conditioned damage output with extremely spammable CC is not a healthy approach: Q can have down to 1.65s CD, and E 2.2s CD, for two high strength, AoE CC abilities that, even if you fail to chain the combo right and not dealing damage, you can lock down a target for enough time for any teammate to kill them.
