a bit of ap has now become very viable on xin, giving him ap means he gets life steal as long as he's hitting "something" even wards lol, I have found nashor's tooth or hextech gunblade to be extremly good depending on the amount of sustain you need

hextech gunblade:
 * ult in groups will give a good amount of hp back
 * 70 ap= 99 hp in total each 3'rd strike
 * gives some aoe damage on his e when he jumps in
 * 40 ad is a decent amount on a bruiser and scales with his abilities
 * life steal(hp on each strike)
 * the built in slow will prevent him from being kited TOO much

Nashor's tooth
 * 25% cdr
 * 65 ap is 45.5 on his w 95.5(96) in total each strike
 * synergizes the ap with his w because of attack speed
 * mana regen makes him able to stay out in the field longer

the choise of item to take depends on the enemy team ofc, but if they have more passive sustain (heal, hprgn, ...) nashor's tooth is preferable, if they have people who sustain well in fights hextech gunblade is better.
