Longsword, Amp Tome, and Cloth Armor all have different gold costs. Doran's Blade lifesteal is insignificant so you're only receiving that 10 damage (and obligatory Doran's health). On the other hand, Doran's shield's stats are a good defensive blend for laning. Doran's Ring gives casters much needed AP as well as crucial mana regen for spamming early. Rings can be stacked with much success. Also, the Doran items all have different uses and they don't focus on one stat specifically. Your logic doesn't really hold up.
