Idea for Nidalee Changes

Intro

Nidalee has become very popular recently due to her visual upgrade, and as such many are discovering how powerful she is. In response to these outcries I would like to offer various suggestions I have on how to balance her out. My main goals are to lower her survivabilty in Cougar form, but increase the damage she does in it making a tanky AP build more viable.
