I actually main Maokai jungle. I don't play ranked and I play mostly normal Blind Pick so I think it's applicable here. I have got to say, you have rather low opinions of tank junglers. The point of these junglers is to apply CC so the lane you're ganking can follow up and possibly get a kill or at least waste a summoner spell and to provide the overall utility of CC to the team. Also, Maokai's ult can be one of the best in the game if you know how to use it right. Damage reduction in an area and some AoE damage? Yes please. I also think you're rather close minded on builds. Ever seen an AP Maokai? That thing wrecks. Nautilus will make sure an enemy will never get away if you're chasing them. A passive snare, a pull, a slow, a knockup that can also potentially hit multiple people, you cannot tell me this isn't useful. Udyr does no damage? I don't understand this. Udyr has very good damage, even when building full tank. Also, when jungling these characters, you should synergize with your team. If you have, say, a Singed top, you shouldn't be jungling a tank jungler, you should be going for someone with more burst. I just think you've seriously underestimated tank junglers and should try to look at them at what they're supposed to do and not purely from a damage standpoint.
