He is viable top because he can poke with Q. If you learn to poke at the right time and win trades, he can win lanes without pushing. He doesn't have a lot of burst though, so you can't fully engage with E->Q until you'd poked with Q a few times already, so it's a bit difficult to manage his mana.

A Youtube streamer by the name of Pawnce mains Jarvan top. You can go search in his channel, I think he has a few videos that explain how Jarvan top should be played.
