"I can't see why, really. it's terrible on burst mages."

Liandry's proc refreshes every dot tic for Malz. This allows him to keep the procs firing for as long as Malz continues to deal damage and throughout the entire duration of his E, his W, and his ult.

Malz isn't a burst mage unless he's terribly fed.

"The Liadnry is supposed to be an AP bruiser item to the likes of Amumu, Rumble, Vladimir."

Vlad is a sturdier mage but he's no bruiser. Liandry's is intended for any ap champ who deals damage with frequent pokes or sustained harass. Annie, Veigar, Leblanc, and Brand (despite having hp percentage dot in his passive) would not like Liandry's much and would benefit far more from buying DFG since they want to drop their entire combo within a couple seconds and burst a champ down to nothing.
