actually, hydra>BT on melee bruisers in teamfights. gives much more sustain thanks to aoe life steal and insanely good aoe active, while giving only 25 less AD vs fully stacked BT. ofc it's best to have both of them in your build, if you're going to play 'life steal cannon' bruiser, as I like to name it. It works wonderful on Riven, tbh. and gives you enough dmg to kill their carries in few sec. think about FM, GA and mercs for the rest of the items, and bulwark or mercurial, if you won't need BC, as you'll have someone else with one in your team.
