Jayce is much more popular mid than top at higher elo right now. He gets access to blue buff and can push and poke really really hard with it. He can also wreck the more fragile mid laners in hammer form if given the opportunity.
I watched CLG's L1nk play Orianna against Kayle earlier and it was exceptional. Her peel, AoE damage and CC seem well suited to countering the kind of plays Kayle wants to make in team fights with her assassins and initiators. Not sure if she's a hard counter or not, but it might be worth considering.
It's also worth mentioning that the rest of CLG also had great peel (Cho, Alistar, Jarvan) which of course contributed to shutting down dives.

Thanks to Lugignaf for the sig!
It's hard to pick other champs that aren't described as capable junglers because they are.. Well.. capable junglers.
I personally go Jungle Vi. She has a shield passive when she uses a spell (( Blast Shield)), a passive that breaks armor and increases attack speed, which does swell for jungling, as well as a sweeper (( Relentless Force )). Vault Breaker makes great for surprise ganks and Cease and Desist is an awesome initiate or chase spell.

Is it just me or does lee not counter akali?
I feel like it's a skill matchup. If lee hits his Q's early game he wins, if he doesn't akali wins.
Also akali counters jayce, not the other way <.<

Lee doesn't directly counter Akali in lane, he's actually pretty squishy early on and explodes easily.
He's more of a general counter because you're never safe in your shroud when he's nearby.

Exactly, lee jungle counters akali but in a 1v1 mid matchup i'd say akali's in favor >.>
Diana and morde counters akali yet no mention of them.

Jayce may be even better mid than top. I think he is.
Thanks for the opinion, I wanna give him another go at mid. My problem at top is that he does feel more like a caster than a bruiser or carry.
