By "insane amounts of damage" People are referring to when he has his W active and an AS build. He can stay at a relative safe distance and just rip apart a tank, because that is pretty much his job. He's a two trick pony and if you try and diversify him or you are faced with a team that his two tricks don't work then he is fairly useless.

What are those two tricks?
 * 1) He does insane amounts of damage to tankey types. So in the situation where the tank initiates, he slams on his W and does damage. This requires Kog to have Madreds and as much other AS as he can muster. Madred's + W's Madred's-like qualities hurt tanks and can kill the other team's lead with the tank strategy.
 * 2) Arcane Barrage spam. Again, as far back as he can be just drops artillery in the middle of Team fights. blam blam blam blam blam. Doesn't work well if he gets too close to the action, an Assassin targets him, or the other team is a hit and run bursty team.

However, if the other team has a lead off Amumu, or a Vlad or Mundo mixing it up in the middle of a prolonged fight. . . . Kog is going to look like a superstar.
