I do not know where exactly your problems lie, but I have a few tips and tricks for Nautilus.

1) Don't initiate with anchor, because it gets you killed (no escapes when you need it, displaces yourself, chasing won't go well).

2) Mark the target you are hitting. Target the carry or highest damage output. Make sure your team knows who you are hitting, because in order to tank as Naut, their damage capability must be disabled.

3) Anchor in those and ONLY those situations: a) clear shot on your target; b) pulling an enemy off of your teammate; c) running away with a margin of health.

4) Keep an eye on your team. Nautilus is, well, useless, without his team. So keep your teammates happy and alive if you play Nautilus. So actively protect your teammates.

5) Max anchor last. Don't depend on it. It is your trump card for turning the tide.

6) Fight like a man even if your skills are on CD.

7) Build tank items, don't get AP unless they come with tanky stats. Use tank masteries.

8) Be a pain to your enemies. Gank them often. Make your lanes win. Make sure they hate you. You have to put your team ahead of the game if you are jungling.

9) Extended mobility helps you get in range without anchor, which I use MS quints and Ghost.

I don't understand how he can be squishy because I never found him squishy at all. I never found Maokai or Malphite squishy too, for that matter, but Nautilus is like minecraft obsidian IMO, indestructible unless by diamond, which even then takes a heck of a long time to destroy.

Which means you can't be destroyed if their 'diamond pickaxe' is dead.
