I personally always build it, along with Sheen. Yes, your early game is noticeably weaker because of your lack of damage., though if you build Sheen after Tear, you should still be fine. A little bit of (easy) farming later, you will have a full Manamune and your damage will jump. Substantially.

I should say I generally farm a lot early rather than getting kills because I can generally support the side lanes with my ult anyway. I've tried using Wriggles/Brut and the immediate bonuses of those, I find, do not outweigh the benefit of getting a Manamune a bit later.
