Jinx has fewer attack opportunities against decent oponnents, often a good single risky Aoe Crit against a squishy enemy wins you the teamfight so slightly better AS will not make a difference and PD would deal less burst damage. Shiv gives a better power spike overall and crits deal more damage (but are less frequent).

So in the end, PD has more DPS and reliability, and shiv relies more on randomness and with some luck deals more damage with those crit procs. More randomness and less reliability >>> more opportunities to snowball but less forgiving >> better for "risky" snowball champions like jinx.
