Maybe it's just me, but the problem with Executioner's calling is more with it being a mid tier item that is sort of okay if picked against a lane matchup but builds into nothing useful later in the game. Also, the dagger looks like a fine idea, but 300G for just Grievous Wounds is something I wouldn't really pick up even if it's useful. The problem might be with GW pricing. It isn't THAT strong unless the champion you are laning against is based wholly on lifesteal/spellvamp (Swain, Aatrox, Olaf and Warwick, I believe). Some AD or other passive (heck, even a little bit of crit) might be okay even if it rises the price.
