My understanding of this situation is that it is identical to the ADC asking "Build IE first or BT?"

BT/gunblade gives you sustain, yes, and more raw damage stats, but the unique passives on IE/Triforce are too good to pass up.

What I tend to do is get a HoG for gold gen. on Jax (he scales too well not to get GP5) and get a phage. Depending on the situation, I will either then finish triforce or get a cutlass and then finish triforce. Cutlass gives great lifesteal (esp. since the lifesteal nerf) and the active wins duels and helps chase.
