If for some absurd reason you end up with BotRK, you've gone so far against my basic Draven philosophy that I am no longer qualified to help you. If I were to guess, I'd say maybe build maybe one more attack speed item (phantom dancer?????) and go on to build Reaver and IE anyway.

I find both IE and Reaver (or Bloodthirster if that's your thing) to be core items on Draven. Other items may be conditional, but I don't think there are any circumstances I'd want to replace those in a final build. My ideal build looks something like:

IE/Reaver, Reaver/IE, Greaves, PD/Shiv/Triforce, LW, and finally a condtional defensive item like Scimitar, MoM, or Banshee's. If you don't need a dedicated defensive item, I just pick up a bloodthirster anyway.

If the game is going too well/too long, I sometimes replace boots with Zephyr. Triforce is also essentially a troll pick for when you're doing too well to care about cost efficiency, the most common for me is Shiv, though PD is also a great choice.
