We may see rise of Hecarim in S3 jungle as it should provide more money. He may not be strongest duellist in game (well he certainly is not), but he has amazing teamfights with good dmg (his Q may seem low dmg, but when you cut 2 or 3 people at once...), riddicculous amounts of tankyness and awesome initiation (R around enemy team E theyr MVP even closer to yours). Today jungle just doesn´t provide enought money to stay rellevant (you need some big tank item to let your W really kick off) and he has rely on ganks for needed cash which tend to make him bit risky pick against passive farm lanes and the fact his early jungle speed lefts something to be desired (stupid Q dmg reduction *** ) so... imho things may look up for our overgrown ghost pony.

I wouldn´t compare him to skarner. They may seem (and they are) simmillar in some prospecs with skarner being stronger in skyrmishes and Heca shining in full on team fights. Skarner is (at least with standard builds) better in 1v1 as Hecarim draws power form number of people (both ally and enemy he has much, much better chances to hit multiple targets with his spells then Skarner) around him and having easier time with hard engages and Skarner being able to really single out one person.
