When to build Attack speed over Lifesteal and vice-versa?

For a top lane bruiser like Kled or Camille, I just wanna know when to build either AS or Lifesteal (Mostly talking about Legend:Alacrity vs. Bloodline). I've mostly heard that it's best to get Attack speed for duelling/splitpushing and you would build Lifesteal for lane sustain and vs. poke champions, but I'm still not sure when I would need one over the other.

It all depends on what you want during your laning phase. For example, if I was playing Riven vs Pantheon Alacrity is good because you'll be able to trade better with the Pantheon. Bloodline is rarely taken because (AA) dps is much stronger than just flat lifesteal. Bloodline is taken if u just want that extra sustain for a hard lane. Either way attack speed is always better.

Ok that helps, and would it help to sacrifice Alacrity or Bloodline for Legend:Tenacity against CC heavy comps mid-late game?

All depends on what you want, pretty sure you can answer that for yourself.
