I don't think you understand something:

Ability range and AA range are measured differently from eachother, auto attacks fire from edge of hitbox, to edge of hitbox, so Teemo, who has a hitbox of 100 units, creates his projectile, and measures range 50 units away from the center of his hitbox, most carries have 550 AA range, and fire from the edge of their >100 unit hitbox, to the edge of Nasus' >>100 unit hitbox, in effect, Nasus loses 100+ range on his wither if you measure it the same way as you measure auto attacks. Now here's something interesting: Every single ADC with range under 550, has some form of dash, with the exception of Sivir, who has her spellshield, ult, and passive to make up for that. Even if Nasus get's INTO that range, QSS is an item that ALL ADCs should have somewhere in their situational items.

In terms of sustain, of course Sion isn't going to get damage to stick on Nasus, Sion's early damage is mediocre, and Nasus likely got a Doran's shield, flask, or cloth 5. But 10% lifesteal isn't that much, especially if Nasus is lasthitting only. If he's doing more than that, he is pushing the wave out, and opening up for ganks.

I don't see how Nasus makes the game 4v4, if he wins lane, he's more valuable forcing fights with his team, and shouldn't be splitpushing, otherwise his lead on his opponent is wasted while his team is 4v5ing, if the enemy stays in lane against a winning Nasus, that's them being stupid, not a problem in Nasus' kit. If Nasus loses lane, or breaks even, and sits top to splitpush, his opponent should group with his team and pressure objectives, a 5 man team that just won a teamfight pushes a WHOLE lot faster than 1 Nasus, he can splitpush, but his team can't 4v5 unless they're already ahead, at which point, again, not a problem with Nasus.

Finally, I don't see how Nasus is a tank, a bruiser maybe, but I don't think he fits ANY definition of a tank. He has no hard CC, no disruption, and very limited utility. He is a wall of fat that does damage, and tries to kill the enemy carry. He does the same thing as Darius and Garen, get fat, make bruises.
