They removed many free stats of him back then, probably with the reason "he got too much of them and was an immobile fortress at top lane". His passive even granted the highly priced defense stacking but this was also removed some months after getting implemented. I doubt they will give him any free stats back.

Though, Tiger already grants what u mentioned as your first point, in the form of on-hit bonus AD which doesnt crit or proc lifesteal.

Fact is, they never really seem to forget about him, as Riot continously changed little things about his 4 skills plus even working on some skin behind the scenes.

My thoughts are that he would've kept most of his free stats from back then if they wouldnt keep an eye on him all the time. Nonetheless, they could also be up to some surprises in Season 4 as for example Vi and Udyr were mentioned for upcoming Fighter class changes.
