As far as I know, he's apparently stronger as an offtank with an atmog's build.
Personally I've had 10x more success just building fast crit and Qing everyone to death.
Just try out both of them in-game. If you do build carry though, don't build complete glass cannon. Get a defensive item or two to give yourself a reasonable amount of survivability.
And yes, team comp does play a part in it.

Thanks to Jovy for the sig!
I do think that he is very viable on both positions so I guess it is really depend on the team. I would say carry with survivability works better than a pure off-tank or pure carry build. If I have to choose between either "carry" or "off-tank" I would go for off-tank.
I have actually extensively played both, and find that I myself am best going offtank rather than carry. Wanted to hear some opinions is all!
And I would agree that it seems offtank is stronger, generally speaking, although his Q makes crit builds tons of fun and also powerful.

normally, ad carry. however, as said, it helps to do what your team needs. i don't see why he'd be an off-tank though, except for the heal.

Either way, don't build Manamune. If you're gonna Offtank, you might replace the Manamune with Frozen Heart or Triforce.
Truth is, GP can do both, but he's seeing more success lately with the Offtanky type of build.
GP with pure damage needs to poke and lower opponent's HP total's before engaging.

Well generally I get Manamune if it looks like the game may drag out to very late game ie. very little but farm is happening early game. I don't like the idea of Frozen Heart, although Triforce is certainly a good item.
And pure damage GPs need to poke is probably why he isn't as strong seeming as offtank GP.

*Shrug.
I think they're both good.
Manamune is a gear slot that I wouldn't want to use on GP.
FH is an epic item and if you're spending an item space for a mana item, you'll get more out of FH on GP than Manamune.
Yeee Triforce real gud.

Crit scales both your AA's and your Parlay's.

Carry being standard -
Offtank being more like -
Note that these aren't in a specific order or the items you would have to prefer, just examples.
So, your thoughts on carry or offtank?
P.S. I am well aware it depends on the team. I only put this because if I don't, someone will tell me this.
