While mathematically BORK might be a stronger item, that is not how it works in game. If you have BORK and fight other ADC with BT, while BORK does more autoattack damage than BT at full health, when you both get reasonably low, BT will start out damaging BORK, as well as lifestealing a lot more life back. Also in a real situation, ADCs usually dont have any hard CC, making it really easy to simply disengage, autoattack minions a few times and then re-engage when your CDs are back up. This is why math doesnt always tell the full story, simply by playing to the strengths of your items, you can outplay any mathematical disadvantages.
