By the time you have IBG you should already have a considerable amount of stacks, secondly the AoE isn't powerfull enough to really kill minions which combined with the 40% CDR you should quickly get means that you really shouldn't lose minions often under most circumstances, the stats are brilliant and he desperatly needs to slow to be able to stick to virtually every champion with mobility as Wither tends to not be enough. Anyway, long story short; if you're really losing out of farm because of the AoE you're not attacking the minions in the correct order and the item is kind of perfect for him.

As for Hydras, Hydra's is hilarious late game because you now have 40% lifesteal and a massive chunk of AD and the regen which gives you a ludicris amount of healing (Q healing for 200-300+ is more than possible if you go for a good chunk of lifesteal with him).
