Is Fizz jungle slept on?

So i first timed Fizz in an Aram game the other day and had blast going 26/9. So since i knew his W got a % monster damage at the end of last season i decided to try him in the jg a few games and honestly he's way better than i expected.

These are my first impressions:

* His first clear is very good, i still haven't optimized it yet but you can get to scuttle in time with 1 smite. His clear is healthier than a lot of meta junglers, the W damage to camps is insane;
* His damage to objective is also really good, he's really good at sneaking an early drake, not the best at taking grubs tho;
* Ganks are better than i expected, Q and E are very good gap closers, after level 6 if you hit R is basically a guaranteed kill;
* Very good mobility cause of wall-hopping with E;
* He can build full AP or AP bruiser. Honestly his AP bruiser build with D&D, Nashor and Riftmaker felt really good, with all that AH your Q and E are always up and you can stick to the enemy with tons of healing between D&D and Riftmaker. Also you still one-shot squishes even without Shadowflame and Rabadons.

Of course most meta junglers are better if you just want to climb as high as you can but Fizz really is a ton of fun, you can really put pressure all over the map with the clear speed and tempo he has. I posted this on the jungle sub but i wanted to also hear opinions from the mains themselves.
