Also for a runepage I run Armor Mark/Seal/Glyph and AP Quints, and I usually max E first, so I wait before picking up future Armor items.

Picked him up, I can't manage to do well or gank fast. Is there some setup to speed up his jungle? Going WEEQ I found myself quite slow, and dropping a ton of HP.

Thats normal, your first jungle is pretty slow, and you drop rather low depending on how good your leash was. After that you are fast, and your ganks become amazing at 6, before that they are ok-ish.

Make sure you get a strong leash on blue, everything after that is pretty easy imo. At least with my setup (see a page or two before). I usually get to kill Small Gols just when Smite comes up the second time. Sometimes I can even just keep jungling from there. If you already need to chug your potion at blue, it's gonna suck.
Only go for ganks before lvl 6 if you see a really good opportunity.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I don't know, the only Amumu(s) I've seen these days in ranked seemed to carry by ganking even before 6 and relying on QE burst+cc Maokai-style, so I guessed he'd be able to gank fairly well from level 4 on.
I picked him up since Maokai's kinda weak now, well, more dependant on your laners when you gank (and it's an awful feeling to gank right and see the laner waste his spells or just miss and you can't finish off the target by yourself), and on the request of a ranked team I'm in, but I'll have to explain them the meaning of a true leash it seems, and how to defend a buff when miraculously their top laner dissappear as soon as the timer says your blue's going to spawn. :<

Should definitely be ganking pre-6. Amumu with at least red who can hit a Q is 100% forced flash or kill if not already at tower.

I generally go EW Q/E Q/E because E reduces your incoming damage and you get the most help on wolves/blue. It helps slightly.

I swear, anytime I go E first my leash is pure shit or golem resets after wolves. After a few times I just said fuck it and went back to W first.

You shouldn't delay your lvl 6 gank by attempting a gank when you aren't certain you do damage. If you know you will force a flash, deal damage, and not lose too much time, go for it. Otherwise just get that kill at lvl 6.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I actually like to go E->W->E instead of W->E->E. The speed difference between the two builds in clearing wolves/blue is only a couple seconds tops and opening E doesn't get you as low as opening W.

Personally, I like to level E up to 3, then go Q->E->W because while the damage reduction is nice, the damage increase and cd reduction per level of Q is just ridiculous. You don't need more than 3 levels of E to clear jungle reasonably fast and safely, so by leveling up E past 3 over maxing out Q is trading off 60(+1) and 2 seconds off the cd for only 2 damage reduction and 25(+0.5) damage. The amount of burst you get from Q max is simply ridiculous.

Q Max makes you clear noticeably slower, take more damage, and use more mana. You only gain a small amount of damage assuming a single use of Q and E. If you hit 2 Es, then E does more damage than Q. You usually will hit more than one E.

After level 5-6 with Philo, HoG, and level 3 E you don't get low and you still clear camps with the same speed. Small camps will still die to 2-3 Es regardless if you have level 3 E or level 5 E. While E does do more damage if you can get 2+ casts, Q gives more upfront burst and the cooldown is cut in half by the time you reach 10, which is about when laning begins to break down and teams are more likely to contest objectives/start teamfighting and the decreased cooldown on Q is very useful.

To clarify, I'm advocating going E->W->E->Q->E->R then R->Q->E->W.

not sure about lvl 3, but i'd be very surprised if there was any noticeable difference at all in clear speed between lvl 4 and lvl 5 E, pretty sure wolves/wraiths are dead after the second E either way.

and isn't two E's only 50 (25 x 2) extra damage per level while one Q is 60 damage per level?

I have experimented with levelling q after 6 a bit, and from my experience, you go oom a lot doing that. Not only do you use q more often, you also increase its costs, while your mana regain stays the same. But that might just be my style of staying in the jungle for ridiculous amounts of time because something happens/a camp is there/an opening for a gank appears/camp/something happens/etc...

I don't know what you mean. Health regen should not effect if you need blue buff or not nor was it at all related to your point so I don't think you forgot to mention it. Going 2 dorans with Amumu gives you no health regen and works fine.

If you max E first you literally take no damage from jungle creeps. That's why DRing Stack works, just get a few potions here and there in case some fighting happens.

Anyone think AP amumu is viable?

Been playing him a lot recently, going philo > sorc boots > RoA > rylais then a bit flexible, you sacrifice a bit of tankiness but do a shit load of damage. If you can get onto a squishy with Q they are basically fucked or at least zoned straight away.

Running mpen reds, armor yellows, mr/level blues and AP quints. Running 12/9/9 in masteries with 3 points in damage dealt.

I picked up Amumu a few days ago and I'd say the recent buff on his ultimate makes him secretly OP, I like to "rush" CDR items on him, 1 min cooldown on this sick ult too strong.
