Gave it a bit of a test, problem is that with his very long cooldowns he doesn't really do much. He gets absolutely eaten alive by any half-competent ranged, you can stun them but it's faded before you even reach them and if you start looking to get a slowing item then you are looking at a very expensive build indeed. Even your healing stinks when you don't build tanky, a 220 heal that you can cast every 4 seconds is much better than a 500 heal you can only cast every 16 because you are too squishy to remain in melee. If your REW combo doesn't kill someone then its base damage autoattacks for the next ten seconds ... good luck surviving that, anyone who doesn't get scared away by your combo will destroy you. Against some people you do ok, they attack, get half their health knocked off in 3 spells and run away, but if they just stick it out after that you have basically nothing except auto-attack for ten seconds and you'll be dead.
