i never found deathfire grasp to be op, Sure it gives heavy magic damage based champions increased burst but it is a decently expensive item, if i were to be balancing this item i would have reduced the ap given by 20-30 and increase the active by 10% more.

Banshees do not really hate much shield has a very long cooldown when taken off and is pretty expensive for the given stats, But i can see where your coming from the item is a huge counter to mages as it gives mr,hp and a spell shield.
