Should be noted that his ultimate has twice the cooldown as live Xerath. And the fact it's a bit harder to hit his stun because of minions, however the strong slow from a drirect hit from W may be enough to help hit your skill shots enough that the stun is exactly necessary.

In other words, he's even burstier than ever but may have a hard time hitting his skill shots if there are minions around or can't land a direct W. Live Xerath however can confidently burst if the enemy comes in a 1000 radius around him. Not 'if I can land a W or E to follow up.' He also has 14% less magic penetration.
