Hecarim is a sub-optimal choice to start jungling with in his current state. He's just too slow at killing minion's/monsters due to his Q penalty. I don't know why they bothered labeling him a jungeler. Might as well give any champ that has a self-heal or summonable minion (Shaco/Heimer/etc) the jungle tag.

There are champs not labeled as junglers (via official labels) that do the job better than junglers.

Ranting a-side, Hec makes a good top lane / harasser / ganker, assuming you can land his R and E right and know the proper time to use his W and Q.

His Q just needs something. Maybe give it the Garen treatment where its bonus damage can critical strike, or everytime he uses Q it reduces the duration of slows, so you could spam his Q to remove a slow effect to help with his passive.
