 * sigh* My job ain't easy...

Kite Nasus? Have you seen Wither's range? Yes, it has a 1.6 second downtime with max CDR, but under no circumstances will he be able to GET in range to use it, believe me, I've tried, it's nigh impossible against most competent carries, as they either have AA range which is just longer than Wither's range, or they have tools to keep me out of their range. Oh, and QSS, Bortk, and LW are all pretty relevant purchases to any AD champion (Looking at you carries) who wants to deal with Nasus being tanky.

Yes Nasus is good at splitpushing and dueling in general, those are his strength's, Malzahar is also amazing good at dueling, and Vayne! Jinx splitpushes like a monster, and Tryndamere just kinda... well... "F*ck you, I'm splitpushing now, try to stop me." That is largely the point of bruisers, amazingly powerful close range abilities, and combot power, coupled with tankyness, this power, however, is throttled by very limited mobility.

HIs sustain is nowhere NEAR what you claim it to be, he get's 20% lifesteal, late game he MIGHT be Q'ing for 1000 damage? 200 hp isn't too much, that's a 3-4 item ADC AA, taking into account his armor. Lane phase is harder for his opponents than I'd like to admit, yeah, but it's still not easy, tower dives can shut up down, he can still be harassed under tower, and his early lifesteal isn't close to as bad as people think, for it to mean anything he has to push the lane back, and that draws him out from under his tower, open for ganks, and harass.
