FoN has the health regen which is useless in team fights, it's only great while laning but it's too expensive to rush as first item. BV has health and mana (although slightly less MR), with the icing on the cake being the spell shield, plus it's an upgrade of an already powerful item. While I agree the 8% move speed on FoN is good, and the shield can be easily popped (Volley comes to mind), remember that BV is an hard counter to some champions in the game (Blitzcrank, Morgana, for example) and really strong against basically everyone. Nerf more than justified imho, and I'll still continue to get it as my 3rd or 4th item even with 15 seconds more refresh time,
