My 3 year old is off the scale.
One minute he is telling me he loves me & the next he's biting, nipping, punching me. He gets so angry, so quick and cannot seem to calm himself down.

Is this a phase at this age or should I be concerned about his anger?

Hitting can be at play at 3 but it's becoming an age where really they should be growing out of it.

Have a read of 14 ways to stop hitting and biting by Dr Sears to see if that helps.

How's his speech and understanding? Speech can often affect behaviour. There's a very simple progress checker here.

If he's very angry, how does he respond to normal discipline techniques? Is he in any form of Childcare? Have they mentioned anything?
