imo, Maokai's most unique strength is that correctly played his team will be absolutely immune to flanking. Those saplings are ridiculously amazing if you know how to place them. His biggest weakness is probably his mana dependence. Even that's not that bad. His CC isn't on the same level as, say Alistar's, and he's not an instant teamfight win like Amumu, but he makes up for it with more surefire initiation, immunity to flanking, and direct team protection. Not to mention his ult is often a free tower. Never underestimate that :D.
