TBC might shred their armor a little so you will deal 25% more damage then you would before. Critical strike, however increases your damage by 100% for 1 attack. With Atma + Trinity you get the same amount of damage increase per AA (instantly) as the bonus of TBC would net you (after 5 attacks).

Now you might argue about me with the 10 armor penetration TBC gives as well. You would have to factor in the damage that TF + Atma's deals more then TBC does though. Since TBC adds 50 AD, it looses out again. Just from TF you get 30 AD, with Skarner's base health and the 250 from tf you gain another 36 ad, leaving you with 16 more AD.

Aside from the extra movement for chases, bonus damage on Q with sheen hits and bonus attack speed for damage and cool down reduction this combination already does more flat damage then your combination does. And on top of that Adds more AP stats for abilities and more resources to use those abilities.

Next to all that, the creme de la creme of this beauty. Nothing is stopping you from getting the items you suggested as well. In fact, both have health in their stats, so with Atma's it is kind of encouraged to get those items.
