The way you trade as kled makes black cleaver necessary, and not only because of the cdr but because of the phage passive and health. Early on, when you start a fight, you actually want to stay mounted for the longest period of time. And since BotRK doesn't give you any defensive stats, you're at risk of getting dismounted too soon, or not be able to get your mount back.

Now there's the lifesteal and it's cool, but the problem with lifesteal is that you can't make use of it if you're cc'd and/or kitted. I wouldn't recommend starting vamp scepter on any top laners because of that (unless you're 3/0 but at this point you could rush any ad item and feel good about yourself). Now concerning hydra, you would have to sacrifice your lane power (the tiamat waveclear) for a more duelist power. It's a trade off I'm not willing to take on this champion since he has such a poor waveclear.

So I feel like you can't pass on BC and Hydra, but a third item BotRK? At some point yo uwant resistance to be able to dive as kled, so I'm not evens sure it's a good idea.
