Possible Thresh Bug: High Attack Speed and Kiting

Just got out of a game playing Thresh and I noticed something strange about his auto attack animations: Apparently when building higher values of attack speed (it began happening to me at around 1.10 AS), the ability to attack move or kite severely hampers his DPS due to the amount of time it takes to begin an auto attack. That is, the windup animation leads to some very clunky interactions with his ability to auto attack, and it's actually more effective to just sit in one place than it is to kite due to how long it takes to begin an animation while attack-moving.

To replicate: Pick Thresh and build up an Attack Speed value of over 1.10, where it begins to become noticeable. Then, try attacking a minion while kiting it, walking backwards and attacking while moving, and then try attacking a minion while simply standing still. There is a /drastic/ difference in DPS, and I feel like this is something that should be looked into fixing.
