Ok I did another test, this time with utility masteries for more move speed, gold and some CDR, with a few points in defense to get bladed armor.

I started with cloth armor + 6 pots and the new cookie item (= 1/2 a mana/hp pot basically). I can't say it's much worse, but it definitely isn't better either. The move speed is very nice, but I has to use all the pots + the cookie to make the round. That doesn't sound much worse than before, but that is 1 and a half more HP pots used for the same round... Maybe with a few more points in defense and maybe some different distribution in the utility tree will make things better, so I'll probably test that some time as well.

The nice thing about the utility masteries + MS quints is that I had 460(!) move speed with Boots of Mobility. That is a very strong gap closer on its own.

As for items, the Elder Lizard is very good on him. Sure it doesn't fit your tank role, but it does give you a true damage DoT on your QER + anyone you are auto attacking. It also helps a lot more to clear the jungle than Ancient Golem does. Though in real games I think Ancient Golem is probably better as you won't be doing much jungling past a certain point and for tanking in fights Ancient Golem will of course be better.
