are these fixes on top of the current changes on the test realm? or have you not seen the patch notes on the test realm or played with him there?

The AP thing to body slam won't fly, Riot has already stated somewhere that the whole AP Gragas thing wasn't how he was designed. If you look at the past changes, the things they have been changing for the most part have been his physical skills. They want him to be a brawler, not a caster. The castable area for Body Slam will be a godsend. The speed up on his ult's projectile speed will make it much easier to use, and overall make him a much better champion. Personally, if they added a slow to his Q or a miss chance or SOMETHING to add utility, then he would honestly be a very, very good champion in the meta game.
