I think his classification is naive or a total error. His entire kit is that of a bruiser, including his passive. He doesn't seem to be all that bursty, rather reliant on prolonged engages (for which he has ample sustain, CC and stickiness).

Additionally, he has to build bruiser to take advantage of many tank ultimates, not to mention things like Zed (after which he has no escape). Sheen-item, Catalyst-item, sprinkle with additional tankiness and you are golden. I am not sure if I would rather have Triforce or Iceborn on him, but both are essentially achieving the same goal - taking full advantage of his rather lengthy engagement pattern, in which he should stick to the enemy close and long enough to weave in all the passive procs.
