Yeah, neither Tiamat nor Kayle's splash apply on-hit effects. Crits increase Tiamat's splash damage though; Kayle's splash doesn't do more damage when she crits. Last time I checked, Tiamat was actually applying the melee splash even when Kayle is using her E. (Before someone quotes the patch notes from a year ago saying that Kayle is now considered ranged while her E is active, I checked the splash about a week or two after her most recent rework.)  It may have been ninja fixed by now though.

Tiamat's splash is so small it's really only useful for killing minions (which Kayle is already really good at) unless you get it early. It's nice to start with rejuvenation bead and fairy charm and build it into an early Tiamat. The health and mana regen is useful early in the game. Later on it's not really noticeable.
