"and as it is no one has any reason to choose Yorick over another tanky dps since to my knowledge he's the only one that has neither a dash nor a (gap-closing) speed boost nor a stun, and isn't mordekaiser (it's made up for in his case by his higher damage, manalessness, and passive)"

He has a good slow and a speed boost. While it sucks that you may have to waste Q's damage on a minion or whatever to get into range it's not so bad once you consider it allows you to bomb them with the proceeding W and E and ghouls.

In addition to this he has more range than other tanky dps considering that when you do get his resources in order he can keep ghouls pestering his target in lane pretty steadily.

I think the reason people won't player him now or fail as him has everything to do with the fact that few people really use his ultimate to its fullest. They see the life prolonging effects and assume that's the only use. The level 3 Revenant gets 100% of the AD a champ has for a reason, the pet should be used to both prolong a rampaging allied champion's run as well as simply boosting your own firepower even if no one is immediately in danger of being killed.
