It sounds to me like you are starting off using the wrong spells. Too many people try to make plays with hooks, making their chances for success smaller. In ganking and esp. teamfights, you should not try to lead off with anchor unless you are just trying for a pick. Lead with ult on the target then combo with his other CCs. Try to use anchor as your last CC to secure the kill. Remember to autoattack in teamfights for peeling as well. If the carry flashes away, you have been successful since the carry has to escape from the teamfight and your carry is allowed free reign with you running front line. In teamfights, you need to position your ult since it knocks up targets on the way.

As for his early feel of squish, there are 2 reasons for this. One: His base armor is surprisingly bad. Two: If you compare him to Mao (who has a damage reduction AoE ult), of course he is going to seem less tanky early on. Circumvent this by buying early armor and a giant's belt since HP is even more effective on him due to his shield scaling off of bonus HP.
