He relies on items to be tanky, because he's only got his passive as a sustain. You forget the cd on his main damage skill is also very long without cdr items. Under the irhgt conditions and with the right team, yes he can be very strong. But in terms of utility compared with other tanks, he is found a little lacking, considering he has no stun, heal, proper sustain, shield -for carries-, taunt, significant AoE damage etc etc. Like the first person who replied said, he is a very straightforward offensive tank. He adds variety for teams to look for what kind of tank they need.
