Agree, he is pretty good top (though it will make your team AP heavy), and is one of the few that can farm easily and deal with a 1v2 situation without problems up there too. Support, he works somewhat because his passive does support his fellow laner more than most people give credit for, also he is an excellent harasser and is good at keeping control of brush.

I also agree with your point against having him as your AP mid right now, since his damage really is lackluster compared to other mids that could use the gold better and be more effective. As he is now, a team really is better off with him in one of the 'support damager' roles rather than as their main magic-based attacker. The good thing is he deals with this well thanks to his high base damages, and can build fairly tanky, have low starting gold, or build support items without sacrificing much.
