Considering the poor AD scaling on his abilities (except for W) and the emphasis on attack speed evident in his kit, I think Aatrox will be a melee carry similar to Sion or pre-rework Tryndamere.

Similarities to Sion: Sion's E enhances attacks at the cost of health, and his ult grants a large attack speed boost.

Similarities to pre-rework Tryndamere: health costs which increase his DPS (Trynd's health costs used to increase crit chance because his crit would go up as his health dropped, and Aatrox gains attack speed as he consumes health and fills the blood well), and an anti-death mechanic.
