That's why people don't think it's Viable. I remember mid lane Master Yi. His Q was extremely good crowd control and damage (which was maintained in the change to AD) and his heal scaled fantastically from his AP making you heal off all the damage you took and the resistance bonuses you gained made you untouchable. An entire team couldn't hurt you pouring all their damage into you.

AD Yi can't put that much AP into himself without costing himself AD and his current heal heals for more when he's low.

The damage is great but the sustain is gimped not to mention that you won't look forward to fighting mid lane assassins with more reliable sustain or mages with crowd control.

Still though. If you can get the drop on them with Q and you juke their main damage or crowd control you can kill them but if you can do that as Yi you could probably have an easier time doing that as other people who don't need to have an entire team wear out a dozen different types of crowd controls so you can run in and not die from a single stun.
