Building as a carry no...The enemy team will simply blow him up. Glass cannon melee dps isn't really a viable role for lategame against competent teams, only a few champions can do it in a viable or competetive sense, and Talon is most definitly not one of those champions.

As for building as an AD caster/assassin, he does his job decently lategame, he has good aoe for an assassin, and doesn't have a horrible time reaching the back lines as if all else you can flash + cutthroat the carry, you only have the 2 seconds of your ultimate to get back out though or you WILL get killed (You are in the middle of THEIR team as a squishy after all), hence why he isn't really considered a carry and isn't considered a strong auto attack champion.
