I have a problem with calling Trundle a "tank." I feel a need for a little clarification. Trundle starts the game as a bruiser but he doesn't scale very well so he falls into a tank role. I like to build him Trinity Force because rushing Frozen Mallet weakens what supposed to be the best part of his game, the early game, and go kinda tanky support from there. I find health aura items like Aegis of the Legion, Zeke's Herald, or Randuin's Omen/Sunfire Cape effective for him.

In my mind, no champion is meant to "kill squishies" but do damage or be tanky. I find Trundle is one of the most balanced combinations of both even if he leans toward the tanky side later on. I think in a team fight Trundle's job is essentially to be annoying. He is a peeler with Pillar of Filth and the Phage, Trinity Force, or Frozen Mallet, he can do a little damage with Rabid Bite, and he has a good amount of mobility to get in and out with Contaminate. I would say Trundle and Mundo are pretty similar and I don't agree with comparing them to tanks OR bruisers because they're kinda unique and in between.

If the OP doesn't like him, there's not much I can say to change your mind. Even if I think the OP is underestimating the power of Trundle, especially Decompose in a team fight and his ganking, he is a little correct in that Trundle could use a little buff but also consider that Trundle hasn't been touched by Riot since his inception going on two years now. Season 3 is incoming and Riot should be planning some big things. I say wait a minute before refunding Trundle because new items or a buff may change his gameplay a bit but that's just me.
