I get what you're saying but think of it this way. You're looking to buy this as your 5th or 6th item to increase your ganking potential (as you've stated). How often does a jungler reach 5th and 6th item before laning phase is over? Pretty much never. Purchasing it early on isn't that great of an idea either because it's like 3k gold for like 20 extra damage on activation pulses and aoe proc. It's also a deminshed slow because everything is aoe, and you're only getting the slow every 3 hits or R cast.

If you're looking for a slow and damage on ganks build a Phage -> Frozen Mallet. Everything you do is a melee attack, your stances just add to stuff your basic auto's. If you're looking to increase your damage outright increase the effectiveness of your auto's through ad, arm pen, and attack speed.
