I pick him for mid whenever I see the enemy team pick Galio. Galio makes every lane into a farm lane and doesn't have the damage to kill Nasus (especially with his slow slow shots), so inevitably there will be a very farmed Galio on one team and a very farmed Nasus on the other. I suppose I don't have to tell you which is better? ^^

I haven't tried him vs other mids yet, but I think at least Morgana, Lux, Gragas and Karthus should be managable. A skilled Nasus player should be able to survive against anyone who needs to land skill shots in order to seriously hurt you and is too mana thirsty to spam them on every cooldown. This will, however, allow the enemy mid to freefarm as well, and I imagine picking a champion that can actually kill them and win the lane outright is usually better if possible. It's just that almost nobody can reliably do that against Galio except maybe Talon and he isn't that popular.
