Well, have you played Trundle recently? I'd say the newest champion that jungles like he does is Shyvana.

The point I'm trying to make is that Trundle has a LOT of power, but it's just not invested in the right places. It's not power creep because Trundle can still perform the job he was renowned for, but this doesn't matter because no one cares if you can't really be counterjungled and can kill the enemy jungle once and a while.

The meta shifts, and a few champions -namely Udyr and Trundle- have been left on the side. An example of a meta shift helping a champion would be Ezreal, Corki, or Graves. Since Riot nerfed things like Minion dmg and health potions, early aggression was especially rewarding in bot lane, so all the champions that could accomplish this became very popular. Right now, you've got mid lane ganking champions. Evelynn is at the head of this group due to her new popularity. I'm sure you've heard of Ahri as well, or Twisted Fate, and possibly Katarina. Nobody wants a mid laner like Heimerdinger or Xerath, who sit in their lane.

If you can prove me wrong, I'm more than willing to listen, but I just don't see how power creep is killing Trundle. I'd just say that his role isn't called for anymore.
