The thing is, as a jungler, unless your damage scales directly with health or armor (which is the case for some tanks), building tanky is not going to give you better ganking power. Getting early AD or AP, on the other hand, will give you far better early ganking presence through superior ganking power. Tanks don't need additional damage to be relevant early game, thanks to their strong CC, but suffer after the laning phase due to their increasingly poor clear times. Fighters, on the other hand, would benefit a lot more from damage stats even early on, and currently dominate because the stats also improve their clear. The new Sapping Barbs effect will definitely help tanky junglers, but unless you're going the full tank route as a bruiser, you're not going to make optimal use of the SotAG line.
