So when I have both spell vamp and life steal on champion that have abilityes that apply on hit effects like yasuo's Q will it heal me for both life steal and spell vamp or for only one of those and if its one of those which one is it?

[Spellvamp] only works for active champion abilities that do not modify basic attacks or apply on-hit effects (including true damage abilities).

From the wiki on spellvamp.

So in the case mentioned, you'd only benefit from lifesteal on the physical damage you dealt.

q isnt a aa. lifesteal is for aa only.

Lifesteal applies to physical damage done by abilities that apply on-hit effects and abilities that modify basic attacks as well. Yas Q applies on-hit effects, and so benefits from lifesteal.

Mostly correct, but not entirely. Lifesteal is not an on-hit effect. The only ability I can think of that would prove my point is Irelia's dash. It does on-hit effects but does not benefit from lifesteal. It would benefit from Gunblade's vamp though. Most other abilities that apply on-hits are either modified AA's or a spell that counts as an AA (Yasuo and Ezreal), so that's why they still get the lifesteal.

If bladesurge is not currently applying lifesteal, then that's a bug. The wiki explicitly says it does apply it though, so you might want to double check.

What I stated for when lifesteal is applied was basically copy pasted from the wiki, which has a link to an old rioter post as a source, and I don't believe they've reworked how lifesteal works at any point.
