Runnan's DOES NOT REAPPLY Kayle's E's splash damage as an on-hit effect on secondary targets. Runnan's DOES apply E's on-hit magic damage to secondary targets. Runnan's DOES apply Kayle's passive armor/mr shred.

Kayle's rebalance + Lich bane nerf = greatly reduced burst. So I guess people answered with AS for sustained damage. Runnans facilitates this, as well as multi-target shred with her passive for teamfighting.

AP Kayle simply does not do as much burst as she used to. Kayle has more utility now. AS Kayle not really affected.

Now, I don't know if Kayle's MS on W got buffed 'cause I don't know how much MS it was giving before the rebalance, but if it was a buff, Lich bane's 5% movespeed is... less nessecary. Regardless, you'll have more mana from a manaless ulti (Lich banes gives 250 mana). With the Lich bane Spellblade nerf, are you really going to buy in for 80AP, and 50% AP scaling spellblade on AP Kayle? If Kayle was brokenly bursty as people are making her out to be, surely you can live with this rebalance. (traded a little burst for a little heal + MS, if anything she'll survive/be more impactful when behind)

Granted, Runnan's won't increase AP for heal/MS, but damage-wise, I don't see a major loss in power. AS Kayle builds AP afterwards anyway. Runnan's also 600 gold cheaper than Lich bane.
