So overall, the damage is   base, with a maximum of base damage of    when maximizing its multi-cast bonus.

That is an overall % loss in base damage. Yasuo needs to build to accommodate for the loss... which seems fair. As you say, it lowers his early game DPS while keeping his the late game damage.
