The problem is that if you are running IE / PD is not very good. If you are not using lifesteal, Aatrox can't cover his health costs, and can't take advantage that crits double the health regained from lifesteal. If you don't have armor penetration, crit isn't going to do that much damage. If you are using a lifesteal item, this means that Aatrox is very squishy because he is saving 3 of his slots for offensive items that give no defensive stats at all.

Critical chance would be a very good stat if weren't for the fact that it does not have a lot of synergy with his kit.

Also, Devourer + Wit's End on my opinion is not very good because Aatrox scales better with AD than attack speed. Yes, his W, passive and ult scale better with attack speed; however, you need AD and lifesteal to be able to regain more health, do more damage, and duel better.
