I've been playing him a little and I noticed that he scales a little bit better for attack speed then the others. Bare with me on this...

When he scales attack damage, he powers up the damage of his Q, E and autoattacks, resulting in more damage and lifesteal.

When he builds crit, it scales with his passive and Q, but Q only does 150% crit damage instead of 200%.

When he builds attack speed, he not only attacks faster but also lower the CD on Q as well as lower the casting time on it.

Lowering the casting time and CD on Q is pretty important because it's his bread and butter that leads to kiting and powerful CC. Better casting animations leads to safer plays, and the lowered CD/attack speed means more hits in. Most importantly, building up the stacks on Q means bringing the hurricane out sooner, which is useful regardless of what is built. Ofc, crit does usually come with the attack speed and building zeal does synergize well with almost everything he's got. I'm just saying that building attack speed greatly helps the early game and has me debating whether I should start building him attack speed sooner or not.

There is always the issue of using the other runes for either survivability or AD, but that's up to players. This is just my speculations.
