OP was comparing them to "Ezreal/Cait/Miss Fortune/Graves", not the hypercarries, none of them have %HP damage.

His healing reduction is AoE, but then he actually has one, most other don't.

Varus' poke is very very similar to Cait's, it's obviously not as good, but it's much much better than Ez's, Graves' and MF's.

His horrid AS/lvl is to compensate for the power of his blight stacks.

Varus isn't used in a "wombo combo" lineup since his root is reliable only on a single target; he's used because he is a tooblox champ in all areas, bringing effective DPS damage, burst damage, %damage, CC, utility (slow and healing reduc), poke, and range in one single pick; NONE of the other carries propose that amount of versatility.
