Let me address your points:

- He's not super squishy

Yes he is, you're full of shit if you think otherwise.

- He has both single target nuke (Q) and AoE (E) to clear camps

Q is on a long cooldown and E will take forever to charge in the jungle to use it to reliably clear. You're going to be spending your time whacking stuff with your flaccid auto.

- He has amazing mobility and gank potential (R)

You still need to wait until 6 before you can do anything marginally interesting. And you're still severely hampered by your mana pool unless you feel like stealing it from your midlaner.

- He has an autoattack enhacer (W)

This is true, and is probably the only way he'll be able to clear stuff before he gets counterjungled and dies.
