Kha'Zix is not a tank, you can do a full tank build on him, but then he will become an inferior Malphite/Cho'Gath/Jarvan IV/any other full tank you can imagine, because he is squishier than a true tank, even with the same build. The main thing, however, is that he does not have any abilities that scale with defenses, or have a huge base damage. On a teamfight, surely he would be extremely hard to kill, but because of his low damage and lack of hard CC, he would simply be easy to ignore on a teamfight.

On other hand, bruiser/off-tank Kha'Zix is a force to be reckoned with now. Not only he is very durable, but he is still able to assassinate squishy targets, and survive even better than an assassin Kha'Zix due to extra tankyness. He deals less damage compared to an assassin, but has far more survivability. Kha'Zix is also more mobile than other bruisers, however he is also squishier. Being mobile (and having a gap closer) however, means that he is much less vulnerable to kiting.
