BV doesn't protect you from burst if the shield gets poked away first. If the other team has Twisted Fate or Nocturne on it, your spell shield might as well not even exist. Let us also remember that QSS is protecting you from CC while the BV is still building the Catalyst component. Because BV is almost twice as expensive. Etc.

There is no hard and fast rule for defensive items, and someone who thinks otherwise, is asking for their cookie-cutter build to get taken advantage of.

WRT Cleanse, you can't counter-pick summoner spells unless you are playing Draft mode in the first place, which means crossing your fingers and hoping that it's useful in Blind Pick. I personally like Teleport because of its unique utility at all levels of play and stages of the game. I can't replicate it with an item, not even imperfectly. Cleanse, I can't even take the synergy for it with my mastery build.
