His mid game needs a bit more strength I think. Once you hit lvl 9 you're sort of as strong as you're going to be for about 10 minutes, leveling your skills doesn't help you deal more damage really so you need to amass ability power.

Most champs hit level 9 and then their damage increases further as they level another skill. Xerath hits 9 and his damage sort of platues for awhile. His pressance gets stronger as he rises in levels due to Locus being on shorter and shorter cd but his damage becomes reliant on items.

Riot could increase the base damage on his skills some or give Xerath ap/cdr from his kit somewhere. His early game and late game are great though.
