Damage output is still fair/strong even with it's cost. Also the hp shred is really important currently with so much hp floating around, it does it's job of being good on attack speed champions like Irelia and Carries without being a must buy on nearly everybody.

3200 sounds expensive but you have to remember that you buy items in pieces. And you benefit from all the smaller pieces as you build the item up.
