Offtank, Carry, Bruiser...call it what you want. AD Nidalee is a cobbled together build from the lack of cohesion in her kit. She can technically perform the role, but she does it strictly worse than anyone made for that role.

Using Nidalee's Heal as sustain is just a ticket to going OOM. It might save a teammate in a pinch if you're lucky or overfed, but its effectiveness wanes VERY quickly as anything other than a boost for your carry. Sure, you can outheal Soraka. But even Soraka has been relegated to Starcall-Bot and Infuse.

Riot wanted the original Support-Healer archetype dead, and by God did they kill it. The only Healer that's worth half a damn now is Taric, and he isn't exactly a big pick anymore.
