Well, it definitely does look good. But the AoE only applies to auto-attacks, and you don't auto-attack much as Talon. With 75 AD it definitely isn't a bad pick, but it's sub-par when you could have 100 AD instead.

Cutthroat is nothing but a spell, you usually auto-attack after cutthroat and then use Noxian Diplomacy. Noxian Diplomacy's bonus damage I think will proc Ragenous Hydra, but it's still only 2 auto-attacks. It was made with the intention of being used on people like  Master Yi  who auto-attack 2 and a half times each second, not  Talon  who auto-attacks 2 times each 13 seconds.
