Caitlyn's Net will 9 times out of 10 get her more ground than Varus would just walking and can be combo'd with a trap for even more distance, not to mention it's on a 18-10 second cooldown vs 120-90 on Varus's ult.

Lucian doesn't just have his dash, he has the movement speed steroid on his W. Also, his dash removes slows (Shyvana's randuin's or botrk, Olaf's Q slow, Mundo's cleaver, etc.) which, in combination with the W movespeed means he'll definitely gain more ground than Varus would with his ult. As a last ditch effort Lucian's W+ult is great at gaining ground against a target since he'll constantly be proccing the W and he can move back while attacking without stopping.

Varus just simply does not put out enough damage to offset his lack of mobility, range and his early game weakness (he gets bullied out of lane so easily by the current ADC trio of Sivir, Jinx and Lucian).
