If you only want to survive the laning phase and are sure to not be able to kill your opponent, you should rather get Chalice instead.

Chalice gives sustain, because it has magic resistance. Magic resistance actually heals you, becaues it makes all healing effects (health pots + base health regen) more efficient.

Also it lets you spam your spells way more often, which is ideal in lanes, where you are behind and need to last hit with spells.

If you sell this item later, when you are running out of inventory space, Chalice still sells for a lot of gold and compared to one Doran's Ring you are actually losing less gold. And that's really only if you have no use for Athene's Unholy Grail late game. That means, that it is best on ad mids with mana problems like Pantheon, Kha'Zix, Talon, Sivir and the like.
