While i agree on the need of partial or total rework, this is not the way to go.

Darius is capable of jungling already. Moving Hemorrhage to E doesn't help at all since Hemorrhage is the basic damage boost in the jungle, and in this way he'd just clear slower at first levels - he'd be forced to level up E at 1st instead of 3rd/4th levels. Not to mention, you wouldn't be able to pull monsters anymore - how to counterjungle now? What about pulling krugs over the wall to clear them faster? And after all, this all doesn't really make him harder, furthermore - pushing the bonus damage of Decimate even further from Darius actually removes part of difficulty, as besides of less range to hit, he also can reach further, and cannot do the outer hit while fighting someone at melee distance (yes, this is possible).

The oppresive thing in Darius' laning phrase is not created by Guillotine or Decimate. They deal a lot of damage indeed, but the true doombringer is the pull. It's just accessible on top lane too easily, and in fact if someone has basic knowledge on its range, it just hits 100% of time, giving no real counterplay window.

I've been playing Darius since early season 3 when i was back in silver until today where i am diamond. I just learned so much about this champion i'm actually impressed he's not as easy to play, tactics-wise. There are many things misunderstood about him and there's no way he can get reworked until it is all clarified to the balance stuff, or anyone else who does the reworking job.
