Hmm, I'll humor the gunblade argument and attempt to see where it's coming from.

Blight triggers are %-based spell damage, meaning the damage is going to be fairly high, and since it's %-based, he won't need to stack AP to make it worthwhile (unlike most AP champs with spellvamp). Every time he triggers Blight, he will burst-heal a bit.

He's an AD Carry the rest of the time so Lifesteal is their bread-and-butter sustain.

The question is: Is it enough Spellvamp to justify taking Gunblade over Blood Thirster? And I honestly won't be able to answer that until I play him. It depends entirely on how easy/difficult it is to land his spells, and how effectively they scale.
