If you're looking for an item to help jungle clear, damage over time, and useful stats, Spirit of the Elder Lizard would be a better choice. The attack damage scales extremely well with his shield's bonus attack speed, and the bvurn damage doesn't have diminishing returns on lower health targets. Granted, you lose some health, but lizard elder can be built after Solari or Giant's Belt wihtout much delay.
