If this is a specific nerf to, then that would be a good reason to buff him, particularly as he's struggling already to fulfill his role as an anti-carry in a manner that's satisfactory. Overall, though, I think the power of tanks should come from being able to tank damage, not just make everything less powerful against them (that's why Tenacity got removed from kits, for example). Tanks should therefore be able to mitigate damage, but not necessarily a champion's sustain, and if the above life steal values are too large, they could always be reduced. Ultimately, though, tanks are already meant to be innately strong against burst but weak to DPS, so this wouldn't mess up their role, and they already have the power to stop sustain entirely with their crowd control better than any other class.
