Turrets giving gold isn't too bad, they only give about 10-12 gold or half a minion. If you place them well, the enemy will be giving up last hits on minions to hit your turrets... if they last hit a turret instead of a minion they lose about 10-20 gold, depending on the minion level.

Yeah, his cooldowns suck in fights late game, especially that ammo recharge thing. If you are lucky you can cast turrets 3 times over the course of a fight though... (the cooldown for getting ammo runs continuously, and doesn't stop when you get 2 turrets, so if you have 2 turrets already stored and drop one, you could still get another ammo 1 second later, then when you drop your second one you will still have a backup one left.
