The preseason changes had been quite generous to his jungling. Changes to Wriggle's Lantern giving bonus AS means he can pretty much reach 2.3ish AS with just core items like BotRK and Triforce while in Frozen Domain, turning him into a monster. Also Wriggle's 40% bonus gold on monster kills helps him a lot in staying relevant as his ganks were never stellar to begin with.

Then the defensive masteries seem to give a lot more bulk now, with that +4 / +3 resist per enemy champion in range. This makes him very bulky even without real tank items with ult, and respectable even without ult.

The new wraith camp also opened up a better 'clearing' path for him because he can take it down really quick without taking much damage thanks to his Q.

Of course the real beneficiaries in the preseason patch were the supports, which I found the ranged supports never seem to have to worry about gold now, with the gold on harass and limited ward pools and what not.
