Try look the other way around. Aatrox has high amount of sustain. But unlike the other it doesn't bind to how much damage he does(life steal). It bind to his hp scaling and how long he can hit the enemy.

His Q has potential to become a mini Malphite's ult.

And his AD scaling is not that good.Yes it's still hurt alot if you build full ad. But you gonna blow up so quick before you can do anything because he lack the speed that necessery .(Yi,Jax,Fiora have some source of protection and their skill are fast.).

So why don't try to build as "Drain tank"  as Riot intended him to be?

Aatrox is not melee carry. His power lie in early to mid game while he shine the most. And use that lead to finish the game before the enemy turn the tide in the late game.

His most important stat to me. is Atk speed and Tankiness. then add some % hp on-hit like ruin king or bloodrazor is enough to sustain his dmg through out the game.

In team fight. Aatrox need to be deal with  or else he gonna grind down everyone. even your tank(except If your team able to wipe his team first then he is nothing). But with built in GA effect, High sustain , and protection he got from item. Good luck try to focus tank .especially if he buy another GA.

His job in late game team fight is not focus on killing. His job is to waste most of your time and resource on him .While his teammate do their work. That is how the drain tank work.

I have many game. that I can force enemy to make a bad trade. or bait for my team without any regard of dying(most of the time I don't even die.). If they focus you? good work. But if they don't? They smack everybody with your gigantic sword. With 2 steroid, bonus dmg from passive and ruinking/bloodrazor should be enough to deal high amount of damage like other melee carry.
