His passive is mainly for the ghost effect, and even with boots of swiftness, you're only getting about 27.5 AD. But I can see how it's possible to use him as an AD carry.

The only issue is, AD carries are just not really very viable as they have to build a mix of both tankiness and AD, something which ranged AD carries can get away with due to their ability to position themselves. Just look at Master Yi, he gets blown up as soon as he tries to enter a teamfight.
