Some good ideas here, not sure about all of it.

I feel like this kit would lend to him popping his shield, ulting for extra damage on the dash, stunning, then getting the fuck out. Also I feel like you'd have to put a cooldown on beserking's passive or he'd have 3 death preventions with a spirit visage The issue with this combo-burst-runaway kit is that the nerfed MS on the ult would mean the whole enemy team would just spend time kiting him, and do so easily at that, unless he's using it at close range with the dash. This would not solve his current problems, and would resemble his current ap playstyle of pop my 2 abilities and gtfo The good thing is that he would have enormous backdoor potential, possibly unfairly so, with an 100% buff to AD at endgame with a shield that strong. You would have to debuff his ats much more than 30% at max rank to balance this, as 30% ats is very easily attainable with 1 item.

also if an ability applies on-hit and always crits its like you basically increased the dmg multiplier by another 100% on the axe charge

idk I'd say use beserking as a part of his passive, and for his ult decrease the ms debuff and make the ad buff an ats buff like usual, but add that his aa's deal tru dmg to both him and his target, which heals his team for 200% or something the amount of tru dmg, and put a short but fair cd on it. that way he could run in, pop shield, chew up a target, absorb the enemy team's dmg with the shield buff from his ult swings, and get a bunch of fury from being focused so that beserking allows him to gtfo or secure that squishy kill. all while giving his team a bit of aoe heals. would make for a good initiate/1v1 imo
