Nasus is not good at ganking. No matter how you play him, early game he is not a good ganker. Don't get me wrong, the wither is great. But it is completely useless for farming, that's why E is usually maxed second. The E also reduces armor :O! Its a great skill for farming, stacking, and fighting.

Good gank champions have a high speed or other mobility asset like a dash or leap. Or a stun or charm is great. The yi Q, reksais tunneling, jax leap and stun. Think Heca, Lee, Eve, Udyr. Those are some of the strong jungle picks right now. The only time its easy to gank as Nasus when the enemy has really bad vision and/or horribly overextends. Wich is pretty common in low elo, so im guessing this will be more viable in gold and below. But nasus jungle can be destroyed so easily, by a succesfull invade, or when there's hard pressure on the lanes while you need to farm.

Granted Karthus is also seen as a really strong jungle pick right now, and he doesnt have alot of mobility. But his winrate is under 50%, its not easy to pull off. This doesn't mean Nasus jungle can't be great, but its important that your team supports you in your plays, because you cant do what a normal jungler can do.
