As much as it pains me, Anon, I have to agree with Rap on this one.

1) He's tankey, he's not meant to carry the team, he's meant to soak up a lot of damage and reduce damage against his own team.

2) I am a strong believer that any character CAN carry a team, and I, personally, have carried a team to victory with Maokai. However that is more on how the game played out than any deliberate attempts to be the carry.

If you can get some tankey gear on him, he is exceptional in team fights. Two AOE attacks, a snare, and an Area effect debuff as an ult. Lastly a passive that heals everytime people cast abilities near him, which in team fights charges up pretty fast.
