Aatrox is not supposed to be a bruiser but actually an aa based melee ADc, like Fiora, Master Yi, and Tryndamere.

Their kits and ultimates are supposed to let them survive in teamfights long enough to deal enourmous dmg. Aatrox ult is just to enhance his sustainig abilities...The initial damage is rather cosmetic than useful.
