The thing is, fury is pretty easy to get, without needing actual effort other than action. Getting free 20% by having max fury is easy, and makes his skills have much lower CD than it should.

Q does too much damage as the dash will not only be guaranteed with the second auto attack, but the scale with defense which any bruiser/tank will get. Combined with intercept, and it means the enemies can't really retaliate when he's at solo top.

W allows for kiting, which isn't a problem. The thing is is that the fury gained is huge, and doesn't really stop when it hits multiple enemies. Personally, I think it's underpowered in that the silence won't stop until he gets the shields back, and those things aren't returning.

E generally gives this guy a free pass on too many things. It allows him to fight without retaliation, and because of his passive, it's a much lower CD than it looks.

R is the one that's making this guy too broken. Making every one of his skills a taunt gives too much free power in a teamfight, and the damage return is a little too high for being the front line guy.
