"No wasted AP, Movespeed, ASPD, Crit Chance or Mana" I'm afraid you have a pretty bad understanding of what "wasted" means. The only stat that's wasted on him is the AP, since he has no scaling for it. He benefits on different levels from every other stat you've mentioned, especially movement speed and mana. He, however, gains little from the big hp pool mallet has, nor from the proc.

Talon is not a bruiser. If you really want hp, you can buy warmogs. If you claim it's for the passive, then trinity is again a better choice, because a) it provides the movement speed needed to stick and auto attack, and the attack speed to benefit from it more often. Frozen mallet is an item for champions who either need to specialize in lockdown, or for champions who can lock down safely, not assassins
