Basically he is very well suited for both roles. I personally prefer a hybrid, and there are good reasons for that: His Tiger Stance is doing hellish damage now and gives a respectable dot that scales on attack damage + big attack speed and his passive gives attack speed too - conclusion: to be effective as dps he only needs attack damage. But damage dealing alone is useless when you´re a squishy meelee that needs to get to his opponents first. By the way, in teamfights you will defenitely die without resistances. On the other and his turtle stance favours a tank build quite much, cause the shield holds longer if you got more resistances and the health you otbain throough its passive wont be taken away that easy if you´re a tank. What i am saying is: His dps potential is great, but hits nothing without his tanking abilities, which are as great. All in all you shopuld ty a build that favors both, but mainly the tank part. Recommendable items are: Tank: Randuins Omen, Thornmail, Banshees Veil and Force of Nature - they all speak for themselves DPS: Trinity Force (AD, Speed, Health, Mana and hellish damage with the proc ability + Slow - as if it were made just for you :)  ), Last Whisper (since the patch it speeks for itself ) Mixed: Frozen Heart (or just Glacial Shroud) - because of the cdr, which indirectly boosts both of u´re damage putput and tankyness, Wriggles Lantern (best jungle item for you), Hexdrinker (very good midgame item) Boots: to 95% of all games: Mercurys treads

If you want a funny build then try this: play him as jungler (like it should be) and do nothing but getting a mercurys and stacking wriggles lanterns. WHY? because they are cheap, and are a cmobination in themselves: you want to be tanky, therefor you need armor. but armor is nothing if you dont have enough life. lifesteal permanently provides life. but you wont deal enough life without damage. this is includet too. damage alone is nothing without survivability => armor. got it? with 3 wriggle you got +69 AD, +90 armor and + 42% lifesteal (62 in turtle stance !)., for jusr 4,5k. and since u´re jungler, one lantern just leads to another. it especially works on udyr since he just need AD. after the 3 riggles and a mercurs get a banshees. then whatever you like. To me this is a very effective fun-build

I hope i helped you and gave u a good insight on building hi - or at least having fun with him :)
