The torment is a red herring, because anything you do to increase the damage he deals will benefit.

However, it is a fairly good choice on him because of his tendency to get in close and auto-attack anyway, it's just about the opportunity cost vs something like rabadons or deathfire for more damage, or a banshee's veil/hourglass to stay alive.
