the way they described how they want him to play sounds a lot like xin zhao minus the gap closing ability.

think of it this way, you want Xin to have a lot of attack speed because his W reduces the CD of each spell by one second per strike allowing you to cast his abilities quicker. In addition to this, you also want Xin to be tanky so he can take whatever punishment his target dishes out. Until he's explained further and we see more of what he can do, that sounds like Skarner.
