Pretty much what Ozzy said. There's just too much to try to fit into one build (AD/AS/Crit/Lifesteal/Arpen vs AP/Mpen). That's excluding making space for boots and/or defensive items. Since Varus has a rather poor time escaping that's another problem.

Lifesteal is also affected by AD/AS/Crit/Arpen.. so if you're not doing that much attack damage, you won't be sustaining very well against say another AD with more AD/AS/Crit/Arpen even if you have equal amounts of lifesteal %.
