Tips to maximize your impact

Hold your bite
Hold Jaws of the Beast (Q) to latch onto your target: you follow all their movement, dashes included, then leap behind them.
Tank, then fear
Cast Primal Howl (E) in the middle of the fight: you take less damage, then the howl fears nearby enemies. Recast it to fear sooner.
Leap onto their carry
Cast Infinite Duress (R) on their carry: you suppress the first champion hit and heal for all the damage dealt. Your move speed lengthens the leap.
Follow the trail of the wounded
Follow the Blood Hunt (W) trails: you sense champions below 50% health and gain speed toward them, three times more below 25%.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Short trades
Take short trades: his second Frenzied Maul (W) on the same target hits harder and heals him based on his missing health.
Cut his charge short with CC
If you have CC, use it while he charges with Thundering Smash (Q): his stunning hit is canceled, but the spell comes back right away.
Back off after his Thundering Smash
After his Thundering Smash (Q), keep your distance: until its 12 to 10 second cooldown is over, only Stormbringer (R) can bring him back onto you in one go.
Don't count on your tower
Once he hits level 6, don't count on your tower when he dives: Stormbringer (R) disables it for a few seconds on landing.
