Not too tanky. It's all about ghoul spam for DPS and ulting a good carry. Plus being tanky as heck for team fights allow you to run straight in to the back to trample the squishies.

With tri-force, he E hits on summon for 175 + 41 bonus AD. More if you pick your last item as an AD item or go with Atma's instead of FH. With 40% CDR that allows you place this on someone every 3.6 seconds.

With triforce, and grail, you have have 111 AP to make your W hit for 311 every 7 seconds.

With 156 AD with tri-force alone, runes, and masteries, your normal hits will land for 156. Add in a Q on top which is 337. Add a tri-force/sheen proc on that which does stack for another 233 for a total hit of 726. That's not including his passive. If you have 3 ghousl out that's another 15% for 835 damge in a single whack that can be done every 3 seconds. This is not including a possible crit. Of course armor does mitigate this somewhat. Which is why you go for the squishies without armor.

Factor in the revenant from ulting a hard hitting carry and you'll be doling out the damage. This is assuming you don't have a fail carry on your team.

One could conceivably add in something like an IE or BT for even more damage as a sixth item. Or an atmas for damage and more tankiness. The point is ghoul spam. You are doing all this every 3 to 5 seconds in a team fight. You should be popping the squishies fast and then working down the harder targets pretty easily afterwards. With tri-force/phage procs and W they aren't getting away all that easy if they decide to run either.
