In a way, warlords can work on Nasus. However, he will need to build some AD as well as great attack speed in order to bring out lifesteal's potential.

However, from how I see it, the fact that after getting enough stacks causes your q to deal insane amounts of damage, the majority of the players do not focus heavily on offensive stats. Instead, they build him as a tank. This allows him have a great amount of sustain in terms of health and his passive yet still deal a crapton of damage with his q. When playing as tank nasus, players usually take the Undying Grasp keystone. This allows him to have better sustain the more health he has. Of course, the 3% heal every 4 seconds may not sound satisfying, but keep in mind that the mastery tree also has Runic Armor mastery (8% increase to all healing effects at max rank) as well as other stats such as increase base health regen, armor and MR, etc. With these stats, you will remain almost unkillable.

You can still do warlords with nasus. It might work, but that is if you get ahead and at least build some health items. I did lane against a warlords nasus last week. I also played nasus against him, but I was using the undying grasp mastery. As a result, I was able to beat him in laning phase (might be because he was playing nasus wrong or aybe he was just unlucky).
