Ever played against Rammus? Ever seen a tank building more than 100 armor? Let's do the math:

[Imagine a Taric with 130 total armor]

The Black Cleaver: Three attacks from TBC means 130 - 45 = he has 85 armor to still resist your attacks or your teammate's, plus you will truly benefit from the full reduction at your fourth attack.

Now with Last Whisper: 40% armor penetration means 130 * 40 / 100 = 52. 130 - 52 = 78 armor, and that applies only for you, on each hit he takes from you and you only.

Considering you're a burst assassin, that means, not quite a team fighter, and taking the maths in account, Last Whisper > The Black Cleaver, for you.

Now, let someone more supportive or carry get TBC to benefit your tanks and that'll be k.

On a side note: NEVER combine Raw Armor Pen with %armor pen. The raw arp applies first, thus making your percentage armor pen be based upon a LOWER number, thus getting less armor ignored on your %arp

BTW, did I mention you're NOT an autoattacker?

But yes, Black cleaver gives armor reduction per hit, NOT armor penetration.
