He has to focus on life steal? But... you have your Q which deals % health damage and heals you for part of it... You just build tanky CDR and you don't die. <_<
I have a sneaking suspicion you don't really jungle, since I actually jungle the "dead" junglers that I listed. I could probably jungle WW too if I wanted to. It's seriously just how you play.
Sure WW doesn't have the BEST ganks pre-6, but they're not the worst either.
Of course, you can jungle even with Garen and do fine. But if someone is new to jungling, he/she should stick to the champs, that have some game presence and can make plays.
At the very beginning, I took Fiddlesticks, because I heard someone says he is great jungler. I was permadead therefore I could not learn a thing. Then I swithced to Xin and Udyr, and all of a sudden I could survive long enough to learn the basics. I'm still noob in jungling, but at least I had the chance to learn.
If he picks tier 1 junglers, he will have way more easier games and more possibilities to get better.
And about WW - in pre-season I was silver. Noone jungled with WW. Now I am bronze and I see lots of WW in game. If I jungle, I just pick Vi against them and have easy time in jungle, because his clear is so slow, I can outfarm him and steal his jungle any time I want.
Nowadays it is all about the speed. WW lacks that, I'm afraid. And last but not least - he is all-in. Therefore no good for newbie junglers.

I thank myself for this awesome sig!!!

But about that WW - you joking, right? Especially in S4 jungle, with stronger monsters. Sure, he can survive, but he don't bring anything vital to the table.
- He can't gank pre6, so all the lanes can be pushed because there is literally nothing he can do about it.
- His ulti can be countered by nearly anyone (vayne, lulu, thresh, blitz, nami, nautilus... just for starters)
- He has to focus on life steal, therefore sacrifice his damage and tankyness
- His clear speed is so slow, he is outfarmed by half in 10 minutes. And if you are underfed WW and meet Vi, who is 3 lvls above and has her items (while you don't...) well - gg :)
To be honest, I did not see anyone jungle WW outside Bronze league. (and don't get me wrong, I love that champ, bought him as my 2nd champ ever... he is not viable in jungle anymore).
