People tends to dislike this item because it seems a weaker PD, but it has three major advantages when compared to a second PD:

1) You're not paying for a non-stackable passive.

2) If you have enough crit chance and IE, the burst damage this offers is just too damn good.

3) It's not just 300 gold cheaper than PD, it depends on how much you've farmed your Avarice blade. Despite the current habit of building this earlier, I usually leave my Avarice blade untouched until the time to build my last item comes. Last time, I did farm 1500 gold with it, so I got 40% AS, 10% crit chance, 6% MS and the passive for just 1K gold.

Too good for just going "HURP DERP, 2 PD > PD+SS, DURRR".
