You're right that merging yourself with as many weapons as possible isn't what makes a person strong, but you're forgetting the fact that Urgot is a twisting being with a twisted mind and in his mind that IS what strength is. That's the whole point.

Aside from this, Urgot's rework was one of the most successful reworks the game has seen, probably right behind Warwick himself. Riot took a very old outdated champ that was simply lacking enough complexity to be played in the current game and turned him into a powerful champion with a definite role. Urgot didn't have a place in League before his rework and that's why he almost never saw play at all. Of course there would be a few dedicated players of the champ, just like there are with any champ, but that doesn't make him well balanced or in tune with the current state of the game. He desperately needed a rework and he finally got what he needed to be playable by more than just the Urgot 1 tricks.

As for builds and skill leveling order, that all depends on each individual game. If you're trying to use a cookie cutter build path for every game you play, you're playing the game wrong. Generally you level Q first if you need to poke at range or want more damage overall and level W first if you're against a melee brawler type champion who keeps going in on. Generally building Black Cleaver as your first item is a pretty good option because all of the stats on it benefit Urgot greatly. If you don't want to build as a "tank" you can just build the more "defensive" offensive items, like Cleaver, Mallet, Maw, etc and you'll do a lot of damage, but you'll also die fairly quickly without many resistances. Just look at every item that could be good on him and build a handful of those in your game to fit your situation. ADC items MIGHT maybe be able to work in specific rare situations, but don't expect them to work most of the time. Your best bet is to build him as a juggernaut for damage, or full tank if your team needs a tank.
