If you build BoRK on Tristana, you aren't building your IE or your PD. That means you won't be critting for another 2 items. That means you reach your explosive lategame potential MUCH MUCH later in the game.

Going for BoRK first on Trist improves your mid-game, but you remain severely "underpowered" for longer during mid-game since IE doesn't synergise with it, and you have no AD increase to make use of PD's crit.

You should only get it as your first item if you are behind, if the opponent is stupidly stacking health, or if you are bullshit fed at 13 minutes and want to snowball by getting even more kills in lane and with ganks.
