^ Yes, if you are roflstomping the enemy, you can indeed rush Bloodthirster. A Riven who can rush Bloodthirster without getting punished for it, plays against enemies that should do better.

However, even if you can, what if you can't keep up with, an enemy like Singed, who just has 500 (or something close to that) movement speed. Sometimes even 4 dashes is not enough. That is why I always build a Frozen Mallet on Riven early. However, you could say Wriggles - lvl 2 boots - Phage - Bloodthirster - Frozen Mallet - whatever is also good if you are winning.

I don't know. Normally, being able to do this results in a surrender at 20. Which means you won't get really far.
