I would advice top lane, with constant ganks to mid. Hecarim's strengh and power comes from teamfights, so he needs to play safe and not push early game. A full combo can kill people under towers easily, even at lvl4, but it takes a fair amount of skill and luck to pull it out.

He is more or less item dependant, altough he has pretty high base damage, and such advantage should be explored early in mid game, but he needs tankiness to do his thing (teamfights - he is the best disruptor in the game, because he can isolate and kill the carry while dealing major damage to the enemies while being constantly healed, and even disrupting the entire enemy team in the process, something almost no champion can do)
