I prefer WOTA for a couple reasons. First is because if the enemy team has halfway-decent peel or poke and uses it properly, you will never be able to use that amazing AD ratio on the enemy carries unless they're melee, you have a really good engage or you catch them out of position (which a smart team won't be). Secondly, while Hextech Gunblade might be good on Morde, a Bilgewater Cutlass by itself is dead weight; with WOTA, it's components are always useful no matter what stage of the game. If you can finish it quickly though, by all means. Gunblade seems to be an item that I would only get if I were ahead, and never behind.

As for DFG, I have never once said it was bad. I myself use it often whenever I find myself ahead. My personal preference is items that mix tankiness and damage since it grants me much-needed survivability; full AP Morde is the easiest thing to focus and destroy, full tank Morde is neutered by QSS and GA
