1) Yes, but you won't run out of mana if you use your abilities intelligently. In the jungle you'll have blue, and when you need to give it to your mid all you need is your flag to clear at a respectable rate. In lane you only need your Q for harrass, making sure to keep enough for your combo. Wherever you're playing him, a philo stone solves this problem.

2) I play jungle jarvan, and only rarely go top with him, so I can't give any insight on his top lane. But in the jungle I can say with a fair degree of confidence that he is one of the best in the game. Sure he's no udyr or trundle, but His versatilty, amazing ganks, and incredible transition make him a god tier jungler imo. His only flaw is he's not the fastest, and even then he's still decently fast.

3) his ulti is why jarvan is hard to play, to use properly you need to know whose flashes/escapes are down (not to mention you can end up fucking your team mates if you use it wrong). If you can use it right then its a terror for your enemies. If you pair it with someone like Corki or :shudder: Xerath, than its GG.

4) the nerfs made him weaker, sure, but they didn't make him weak. Maybe he was a bit OP back then, but now he's in a good spot. Nerfs don't mean anything as long as they don't OVERNERF the champion, which in Jarvan's case they did not.

5) yeah, he falls off late game damage wise. But he can still stun/slow/lock in just as effectivly. His team fight presence is huge and he can initiate amazingly well provided he was built for that. As far as not being able to carry goes, if you go top lane then no, you can't carry. However, if you jungle and make the most out of his ganking potential then you CAN carry, or at least get everyone so fed they CAN'T lose.

TL:DR Jarvan's a badass, It's not hard to overcome his weaknesses.
