Jarvan is generally not suited for beginner players as he playstyle is very "push the envelope" esque.In the lane phase, he possesses great harrassing ability thanks to Martial Cadence, which means one has to balance, last-hitting minions & harrassing your opponent, all while making sure your mana doesn't dip low (if you're out of mana, you're pretty much useless). In teamfights, careful planning is a MUST when initiating as you have to make sure to a.) Not trap allies. Your ultimate can trap allies, essentially killing them (especially against AoE heavy teams) and b.) Trap as many enemies as you can AND LIVE. If the ones you use your ulti on have escape mechanisms (Flash, Essence Shift, .90 Caliber Net, Valor, Spinning Slash, etc.), you've pretty much wasted your ulti. If you can handle Jarvan IV, you will get, in return, a powerful laning phase (Jarvan is near unmovable in-lane), great initiation (E-Q-R), good pushing power (E gives attack speed to everyone near the flag, standing near it will double it's passive bonus), among other things.
