Vol'jin! Wisest chieftain of the Horde so far, in my opinion.
This concept is a mash of the traditional Warcraft 3 units "Shadow Hunter" and "Beserker". I also included stealth; even though there are many ways to counter stealth, I do believe it is a mechanic that has not been properly explored yet, so I added it to his kit.
If you've glanced at my Spellbreaker concept, you would see that I dislike generic talents on heroes, so I've given a map on many possible ways he could be built with these abilities.
I've published it without much polish. Work in progress! :^)
