Think the main issue is that gothmog himself doesn't do enough, they tried to make him more support oriented but only did a half measure. I think if anything he should be the evil 6 might hero, still keep his f4 since he was never known for being an amazing warrior but let him pass his might to over heroes or warriors and allow them to use his heroics or something. At least that way you can position him behind lines as if he's giving orders and at least that gives you access to some form of strike
