Nidalee Remake Suggestion: Part 2 - Give me Feedback

Nidalee The Bestial Huntress Rework
It seems that RIOT is just going to let Nidalee sit unfinished and not even attempt to give her the actual late game buff we were promised. So far all they have done is taken off A CDR cap buffed a skill that didn't need buffs(not that the skill changed at all), and swapped 1 defensive stat for another. A 0.2 AP ratio increase on a 0.2 AP skill wasn't a buff to a skill with several disadvantages to it already. Swipe has low range, no aiming, and a low AP ratio with only one pro and that is a cooldown that is 1 to 2 seconds less than similar skills without the cons of this ability.
Anyway here is my remake that combines aspects of pre-release Nidalee and some of my idea into a more fulfilling kit. Honestly the AP ratios are probably redundant and could all be replaced with AD ratios but I'll stick with this for now.
That is all I have on this matter. Review my changes and let me know what you think of them Too Good/Not good enough/Just right.
Anyway if you have any questions on the abilities ask me and If you think something is too strong let me know and tell what you think could be done to make it right.
Also here are the two Nidalee bugs threads I help maintain:
