^ AD and AP carries are supposed to deal damage, that's their main role. They can deal it in different ways in case of the AP carries (and to some extent certain AD carries). Because that's their primary goal, they NEED something to help them do this, and the most reliable item is Dcap (in conjunction with other items). The "nice effects" you mention are situational and aren't bought for damage but for the effects they provide. AP carries have one primary way to increase their damage: ratios. Hence the need for pure AP. Supports have more "special" items with actives etc. because supporting can mean a lot if things: healing, giving auras, giving certain buffs to your team/debuffing the enemy team, hence the many items with actives. And even if you ALWAYS get a Dcap, you still have 4 other items  boots to build, go ahead and make all those 4 items have "nice effects"... I really don't understand why you complain so much about Dcap...
