Okay so, you really need to look over this and fix up the wording on a lot of abilities and talents, as many of them are incomplete or wrong. I don't know why you've added numbers such as "3.1" and "1.2" instead of round them up or down, e.g 3.25 and 1.25. Please fix the numbers on mana costs too, something should not cost "77" mana it should be 75 or 80.

Q is exactly the same as Muradin's, except so much better as it has a 4 second CD less cool down than him, and it is point-and-click. Personally i suggest changing it to a slow, as tossing a glaive and cutting someone does not stun like like throwing a hammer at someones head would.

W is fine

E, as the other commenter has said, is not something blizzard will, or wants to add, however it is a concept so if you want to keep it then it is your choice.

Lets look at your first Ultimant and compare it to Avatar
Maeiv
Mana:78 Mana Cooldown:60 Seconds
Gain 45 armor, 1200 health and lower basic ability cooldowns by 4 for 7 seconds.
Muradin
100 Mana Cooldown: 100 seconds
Transform for 20 seconds, gaining 1124 (+4% per level) Health.

Do you see a problem here? Because i do. Your Ultimant does way too much. Health, 45 armor and reduced CD. Also 7 seconds. Don't do 7 seconds.

Other ultimant, again mana cost and CD need to be real number, 50, 55, 60 e.g
Also, you should not have an ultimant that requires a specific health amount to use, perhaps change it to what i am going to word it as
Deal 280 (+4% per level) damage to the target enemy and 140 (+4% per level) to nearby enemy heroes. If the target is below 50% health, deal 50% more damage.

Some of your talents also are quite odd.
Barbed Wire restores 50 (+4% per level) health to Maiev for each enemy hit.
Envenomed Glaive restores 56 (+4% per level) to Maiev. (I assume the 56 is health)

Barbed Wire is obviously better since it can hit up to 5 units compared to enevenomed glaive.

Blizzard have actually officially stated that they will never add "Mana Burn" abilities in the game. Just a reminder in case you want the concept to theoretically be 100% portable to HotS.
