If they made power transfer more viable, he could potentially be a decent candidate for a more off-tanky bruiser type mage. Unfortunately, because his only form of "sustain" comes from his Q he can't really rush into a team-fight without getting blown up.

So why not build him as a burst mage and take advantage of the amazing poke with E and the high damage of his R? His augments do not enhance his playstyle at all they are only a means to an end of playing him in a singular manner - that of a burst mage.
