Warwick can't outsustain a lot of people. I have no idea what you're talking about. Everything Warwick does, Xin Zhao does better unless Warwick is auto attacking constantly like an idiot who doesn't know how not to push his lane or Q'ing everybody like he doesn't know how to save his mana. Nunu out sustains him. Udyr out sustains him. Lee sin out sustains him. Nasus out sustains him. None of these guys have a healing reduction unless you count the DoT on Udyr's tiger.

Lanewick is good and all but he's not the best in terms of sustain. He can be shut down. In order to get his health back up quickly he has to dip into his really really shallow mana pool. Virtually every ranged champ can harass the hell out of him and get him to go back. Take... oh... Gangplank for instance. The page we're on. Gangplank outranges Warwick until level 6 and in my experience tends to just eat oranges when that level 6 hits.

Anyway, a good counter for Gangplank is the double support lane. Gangplank plus almost anybody has a really really hard time against the Sona + Soraka lane or the Janna Soraka. Or the Karma Taric. Gangplank will get really bold and expect to shut you down because you're a pair of squishies but it won't work and he'll be out of mana before he can say parrrrrley.
