Annie with a Deathcap and Amplifying Tome, about 300 gold less than the Bloodthirster and Brutalizer you mention, will do 447.2 more damage off their combo. That's 115 less damage than Talon's combo for the benefits of having an AoE stun and working instantly at a farther range (I'm not even mentioning Tibbers' damage over time). Unlike Talon, Annie may also run away much easier after casting their combo rather than risking those 3 autoattacks as a pile of squishiness (which are, frankly, not worth it with those items for Talon unless your target still isn't dead and it's important for a teamfight that they are). Sounds like Talon's damage is balanced to me.
