Well, partly by the fact that it's one of her 2 damage abilities (I don't count riposte as a damage ability, E is a steroid). Count some other base damages in champion kits together and compare.

Also it's her only way of defending herself (because riposte really sucks, without that extra AD part it would not be even that one-point wonder it is now).

Also, that's level 3 damage, by that point you should have Zhonya's if you're a mage, and tanks/bruisers should be ready to peel for their carries anyways.

Last but not least, compare to some other ultimate damage amounts. 1000 base damage is in a optimal 1v1 situation, most mages and glass-cannon characters have less but AoE, which is in most cases better.

Dunno about her balance, I like playing with her but she's kinda weak I think. W is not usually worth even using, just a waste of mana.
