Absentalexander1, Death's Dance D.O.T. does true damage as if coming from the item anyways.

"Unique: Stores 30% of all physical and magic damage received, and is taken as damage over time true damage instead, dealing one-third of the stored damage every second."

Non-periodic damage seems to be a meaningless specification by riot, unless they have new D.O.T. runes, items or allies giving him D.O.T. physical damage. All of the D.O.T. items are basically useless on Aatrox and he has no D.O.T. himself. Death's Dance doesn't output any D.O.T. damage. The D.O.T. is purely defensive.
