Oh, it works alright. In theory/practice games. I have yet to try it in an actual game. Partly because I just figured it out and partly because I'm ******* tired right now. The only problem is that there is a lot of room for error when you're getting Golem. One tiny slip-up and you will most certainly die.
Okay, here is a detailed explanation of what happened. I did everything you posted, killed Golem and had half of my HP Bar left. Went down to wolves, and they hit hard without armor, so i stayed at half HP. Then i went to the wraith camp and smited the big one and lost no HP due to turtle stance, then i went to the small golems and lost no HP. And took down lizard easy. Awesome build, make it a guide and i'll love you forever.
Runes i used.
Flat HP Quints
Dodge seals
Flat CDR Glyphs
Flat ArP Marks

I have the beginnings of a guide for it saved as a draft now. Those were actually the exact runes I was planning on using. PERFECT.

-Grab a Doran's Blade and a health pot
-Get one rank of Tiger and use it at the fountain (DoT buff lasts until you hit)
-Go about killing Golem: Hit it with one auto attack and immediately hit Tiger whilst simultaneously activating your potion
-Keep spamming Tiger
-Hit it with Smite for the kill
-????
-Prof- er, Blue Buff
If all goes well, you should have done a fairly quick lvl 1 Golem with Tiger Stance!
After that, just get Turtle and kill everything else. I go Wolves>Wraiths>Golems>Recall, buy boots, Ghost to Lizard>kill Lizard>begin ganking/keep jungling.
The way I see it, it's a high risk/high reward style of jungling. From what I've done, (on my lvl 20 smurf with only 2 flat health quints and that's it) you can move fairly quickly, but for the first few levels you tend to be at around a fifth of a health bar. There's also no money for wards. On the plus side, getting Tiger makes you a powerful ganker in that you have more single target damage than Udyrs without Tiger.
Is this a viable jungling style for higher level play/ranked? Granted, I haven't done much jungling as Udyr. No other combination of items/stances has yielded a lvl 1 Golem for me. If there's another way, I'd like to hear it.
