As far as nerfs go, just a number change would have worked fine. If they wanted to reduce his early damage while increasing his late, they could have reduced the base on his passive but increased the scaling per level. Or even better yet, they could remove the base, keep the scaling per level as is, and add a small AD ratio to it. Because his passive does so much early damage, people can just take armor pen runes and outright destroy enemy laners.

I really wish they would keep the bleed passive as well. For one thing, it adds depth to his lane, because it requires you to play smartly if you want to harass someone under a turret, and then, of course, it ties in with the whole "Blood Brothers" theme that Riot was going for when they released him after Darius. I doubt this passive would stay long though, given what they did to Katarina's passive. I'm hoping, at least.
