Lifesteal quints are valued mostly for adc because of price changes between Season 2 and Season 3. In Season 2 a vamp scepter was 475g so it was cheap and easy to afford. In Season 3 the price became 800g effectively so now it costs quite a bit for a single item you want just for some lifesteal. Now it is almost not worth getting unless you are immediately turning it into something so it will delay the rest of your build. Also items like bloodthirster and blade of the ruined king were stupidly cheap in the early season so people were rushing them and getting lifesteal. Now those items are not rushed anymore. Getting 6% lifesteal from quints gives you enough sustain to put off vamp scepter for a while and the loss of damage from replacing AD quints is usually made up for by starting with a dorans blade or longsword+2 pots
