nashors tooth is a nice alternative to pd, since it gives you all you want for nearly the same price. to explain it:

nt gives 5% less Attackspeed, hurts, but seriously not much.

nt gives no movementspeed: ouch, that really hurts, varus already has no escape mechanic, so thats really bad

nt gives no crit: hurts less than you may think first. since a bloodthirster is the better option than infinity, the pd unfolds its full potential pretty late, exactly then, when you got your ie.

nt gives 25% CDR: wow, thats great. i as thinking about a way to get CDR, since it bothered me, that i missed 2 or 3 kills in a game, just because piercing arrow still was on cd. 25% CDR will allow you to spam your piercing arrow like hell. with blue pot and sorcery mastery you will reach 39% CDR, thats a big chunk. also allows you to cast your ult much more often, which is great for escaping and ganking.

nt gives 65AP: yeah, its pretty decent, 16 magic damage and scaling on ult and scaling on w percentages, thats really nice. riot said they wanted to delete scaling from ad to autoattacks, vice versa (look at jax), here you got it back... somehow.

nt gives 10 mana per 5: nice, more piercing arrows, more harrass, just perfect.

i'm not saying that nt is much better, but i think its a serious option for replacing that phantom dancer.
