This should definitely be upped to eight or so mana, giving it a role as a control finisher. If you want to keep it at six mana, it can't have a removal ability as a plus -- that snowballs way too hard, since it lessens your opponent's ability to deal with it while simultaneously building towards ultimate, whereas all almost all other 7< mana planeswalkers with a good minus ability force you to make a choice between the two.

 

If you want to up the cost to eight mana, you should probably change the "controller loses life equal to CMC " clause on the +2 to "you gain life equal to CMC". This helps any control decks that play it stabilize, which is more valuable to those kinds of decks than burning the opponent.
