This is an early to mid game item. Stop getting it for late game because it offers poor late game stats. Squishies die just as fast without the armor shred and tanky champs only lose about 5% damage reduction from max stacks.

Inshort if you want armor pen get last whisper, if you want AD get BT or IE or LW, and if you want attackspeed get Phantom Dancers. IE, PD, BT, and LW scale too well together to be wasting gold on BC that doesn't scale very well.
