Tiamat is viable but restrains your build possibility if you want to optimise it.

Good to use when the opposing team doesn't has too many ranged or casters, godly when they have double bruisers, tends to make you push your lane a lot, but a lucky hit in a teamfight can lead to an ace and it turns you into a mini-tryndamere.

Basically it will reduce your potential base damage, but will significantly magnify your AoE damage.
