Never got why people don't take them together with the Arcane blade mastery, even if you don't have an AP on-hit effect like Kayle or Teemo.

Let's say that you're playing Poppy, and you get them both. To make an useful use of Nashor's, all that you have to do is apply first LB alone (Resulting in 65+ (95% AP) ), and then doing an animationg cancel (Like AD characters do with Trinity when Trinity > AA reset for quick double hit) with Q (Which would result in 115~390+ (80% AP) ). This way you improve your burst in +30+ (30% AP), resulting in 180~455+ (175% AP) instead of using LB+Q alone and dealing 150~425+ (140% AP) (Supposing that you have Arcane blade). While a 30+ (35% AP) additional damage won't seem much, with Rabadon's+AP masteries+AP quints this already skyrockets to 400 AP, so it turns into +170 magic damage, which can actually make a difference. And this gets even more ridiculous with AP Jax...

By the way, I made an appreciation blog entry regarding this matter, you might want to check it out.

P.S.: And yes, I think too that the LB nerf is going to leave it more useless than balanced.
