His AP ratios are bad, but his base is high, and he scales well with CDR now - if you can manage his energy, which isn't that hard. Going jungle is great if you go devourer, because he doesn't do enough later and you end up having to play like a support instead of a real tank due to lack of aggressive crowd control. He's honestly somewhere between a very tanky fighter and an agressive support because he has to position himself with his allies for his W. I'd also recommend the titanic hydra, but way later since you need tankiness quickly after devourer, but you need devourer to stay relevant.

I've been playing a lot of junglers this way lately, though, so maybe I'm just becoming a one trick pony, but I feel the efficacy. Seriously though. Cooldown reduction no matter what. His shield is ridiculously strong and being reapplied every 3 seconds with proper weaving is ridiculous. You just need to make sure you're actually doing something while it's up - which is also another argument for more CDR.
