Unevent has already hit most of the points for me, but there's one I'd like to address...

"(those without 500+ range gap closers, at least.)"

So... what, all of them? This is League of Gap-Closers, and nowhere is that more true than in the jungle. Those few junglers without blinks or dashes all have either an MS boost (which qualifies as a sort of gap-closer) or hard CC, often both, or are simply phenomenal duellists whose mediocre ganks are balanced by their excellent counter-jungling and objective control.

Also, speaking of duelling: yeah, Karthus' DPS is potentially ludicrous. He's still not a good duellist because a) a good chunk of that DPS depends on landing one of the most finnicky skillshots in the game, which is even easier to dodge in a 1v1 situation and b) he's squishy as all balls. Having no burst really doesn't help him either.
