I don't think he would be a good mid choice. I would imagine asassins and long range mages would just bully him to his turret and then jump the lanes to gank other people. You would have to have a lot of magic penetration and spell vamp which would be hard to acquire in early game and would probably make you less tanky later on.

And that's not even commenting on the mana cost.
