The new Essence Reaver on Varus seems really good, mid lane can go Tear -> ER -> Runaan's, pick up armor pen and then get Death's Dance at the end, I wonder if Tear is skippable or not? It seems like you might still need it, but this'll hit you 40% CDR, lots of Blight applications, and now there's even crit. The only issue is I'm not sure where to fit the armor pen you want in here, because Death's Dance means no Youmu's + Dominik's/Mortal Reminder...but Varus can get CDR Boots.

So, Muramana/Essence Reaver/Runaan's Hurricane/Youmu's Ghostblade/Lord Dominik's Regards/Ionian Boots of Lucidity, 12/18/0 Masteries, hit 45% CDR, get your armor pen, now have good AA damage etc, it seems really good. Flash/TP or Flash/Ghost, though, I wonder.

Essence Reaver could mean the return of bot lane Varus, too...
