Holy ****. Now THIS is a cool and well thought out concept. While im a bit iffy about calling him muti-class(Blizzard's description of muti-class is a hero whos role is decided by the talents he picks. Hamuul here always has a strong ranged assassin form and bruiser warrior form, so he might not fit the critiera).

I love the focus and synergy around applying the curse and the bonuses you get from it, while particularly massive on the ranged assassin/druid form, makes perfect sense as it takes a LOT of effort to keep those bonuses active. But despite this the combos feel natural and flow well. I could see a good Hamuul player swapping between forms whenever possible to get as much value as possible from the curse application.

While the base abilities themselves are fine, i think ironfur's numbers need a bit tweaking. Having passive 15 armor in both forms seems really strong seeing as no other heroes get 15 armor baseline(except for magical armor only). Perhaps make it only give the additional armor in bearform, and only have the regen orbs count if he picks them up in Bear form?

Also i would move Nourish to a level 20 talent as its way too strong as a level 1 talent. That healing boost and healing it provides in general rivals some actual support heroes. Perhaps replace tooth and claw as tooth and claw is kinda on the weaker side of the level 20 talents?

Seriously though, i just love this concept and its an utter shame its not more popular. You clearly put a lot of effort into this, and I salute you. Maybe you could help get more attention if you changed the character to a more lore-important bear druid? Maybe boll Bearmantle? People tend to look at recognizable characters more than little-known side ones.

But if you do want to keep it as hamuul, perhaps add that doomguard hamuul should maybe turn into a fel hound instead of a bear when he transforms? Would fit the theme of that skin more.
