I feel that Trinity is better than PD if you manage to rush it as one of your first core items. While PD is probably better at sustained damage, most trades in lane rarely last long enough for PD's stats to pay off, and sometimes you may be forced to hang back during teamfights, making burst > sustained damage earlier in the game. With that being said, I agree that PD is probably better later.

Also, 200% of your base AD is no joke O.o At level 11, that's 158 bonus damage every ~2s. Plus, the AD and AP scale with your abilities.

The Rage passive, when stacked with your W, gives 60 MS, which is virtually equal to the 60.75 MS PD + W gives you assuming you have 375 MS from tier 2 boots (and the W passive is active).
