Well, he's generally built with a little AD as it is, so the AS helps you apply the AD faster. It's especially useful if/when you have a FM, as the extra attack speed helps to permaslow the poor sap you're beating like a drum. As for the shield, I dunno. Never really thought it was too long. You only really use it to escape a gank/survive a burst in a teamfight, or to slow if you are CERTAIN that you need the slow to guarantee a kill (which tends to happen almost none of the time, because two gapclosers/dat arena/pop-up/permaslow (if FM).

That said, they aren't bad ideas at all, since the AD scaling would make him a much better Support early game if you are playing that way. I personally just think it'd be too much, especially with his superb AD scalings, if he got extra AD from leveling a passive. Nice to think about, but a tad too powerful to give a champ with this flexibility.
