because if you can play to his strengths and get a ton of armor you can get a large amount of armor penetration... Combine that with a stray item like say a Black cleaver (which should actually synergize decently with him in its current form now that I think about it) and you can do quite decent AD damage. BC + 300 armor = 40 flat penetration + 30%, that's pretty impressive, and at the very least you're helping your teammates considerably.

By the way, in practise his AD potential isn't as good because usually you can't get away with having 300+ armor and no MR...
