I didn't chose any type of scenario, poke or burst, or dps. And in reality, corki's play style is a bit of both poke and burst. My conclusion is slightly the same as yours, that void staff is actually great on him, wether you consider the poke (with R) or the burst (q + r + sheen proc). I want to be clear, I didn't compare poke vs burst, I compared ad vs % magic pen.

However, the magical component from autos benefit more from the ad than the magic pen until the opponent reaches 110 mr. Also, critical strike favors ad itemization, because you get 275% damage on a crit with ie, and I didn't take that into account. But like I said, R and in some extent Q are a safer source of damage, so I didn't think it was worth trying to add critical strike or attack speed for that matter in the comparison (and by nature critical strike is inconsistent so not great for theorycrafting, unless you consider long time frame, when a skirmish with a squishy rarely last more than 3 seconds against a carry with 3 core items).

So if you don't think you need to buy mercurial scimetar or hextrinker (because those are actually huge items now), I strongly suggest you take voidstaff after  boots  and ie. The only problem imo with voidstaff is that the build path is actually garbage for corki.
