Greivous under performing

I think it's fair to say GG is under performing. In order for him to shine he has to be paired with a droid team or some sort of combination of droids due to -
A) having low health - he needs to be paired with other droids
B ) having slow speed - He needs poggle to add speed up or HK to provide TM on crit, or JE to provide initial turn meter boost at the start
C) his special only activates when he falls under 50% health, but he himself has no life steal - So he will once again need a JE, any other healer won't provide good enough synergy to be useful.
I think a lot of people would love to see this character shine, for one thing he costs ALOT of shards to unlock, and he's is in general a neat character and has fun character animations. So even if you buffed GG to make him "OP" , he still wouldn't be because he has to work with combinations with other droids. Increasing his health, increasing his speed, giving him life steal would help make him more viable. But let's face it, when your using GG, you're really building a team around him, he's not something like a RG that you can toss into any team and have him perform well. So why not just make GG stronger. It would be great for GG to have either a counter attack or multi attack (4 light sabers!) this would at least increase his damage to make up for his slow speed. Any one else have constructive ideas for Grievous? I would love to see more droid teams in the arena and would love to make one of my own. They're probably the most fun team comp that I've used, but just not totally viable unless you wanna wake up down from 1st to >50 lol.

So it would be:
Grievous has +10% max health for each living droid ally and gains 25% turn meter each time a non-droid ally inflicts critical damage. In addition, whenever grievous falls below 50% health, he will dispel all negative status effects on himself and force a random ally to taunt for 1 turn if no ally is currently taunting for him. if he does, that ally also gains 100% turn meter.
That might instantly make him viable on Phasma assist teams. Even as an f2p player, I'd really like to see GG a few times in arena or GW for that matter. Hate seeing the same old toons every fight.
Also, can you increase the size of the character model please? Grievous is 7 feet tall and the model is very small next to Vader who is 6 inches shorter not to mention the huge size of the gamorian next to him!
This toon takes a very long time to farm for non whales and it would be great if he reflected the time, money, and energy it takes to gear and 7*. I almost have him at gear 10 and will 7* him in one month. Please make him the prize I have been working for.
So rework for faster Tm, more health or health steal, and increase model size.
Anyway, it's a little bit difficult to compare Greivous accurately because you have to compare him to other characters with 4 stars, since that's what most people have him at (if they have him at all). The Potency issue is a gear problem that should be fixed. I'd also say Sinister Laugh should be reworked a little, because Health Down just doesn't seem to do anything, even when it sticks. Maybe change it to a 1 turn duration Ability Block.
