Liandrys isn't my favorite item either for all the reason you just said but it's most certainly more viabel on xerath then dfg. This is because xerath's poke and burst are the same abilities. And since they other such long range, you woud be needlessly  putting yourself in a bad position just to use your dfg. Meanwhile with a liandrys every time you land a spell, you get that much more out of it because then they burn for a decent chunk of hp. Keep in mind that 2 of xerath abilities naturally apply movement imparing cc. Liandrys in general is good item for any magic damage champion who has short cooldowns on something relatively easy to hit, built in cc, %health damage, or has a Dot. So while it's not THE PERFECT xerath item, you could go alot worse *coughcough* dfg.
