I never get the or. Obviously you will be wasting gold on attack damage with the first option and you don't have a reliable way of repeatedly applying the DoT (sure you have your autoattacks, but come on, this is ). Liandry's doesn't proc off his W as it's an onhit DoT and similarly he doesn't have much way to mass apply it. At least the stats it gives are nice.

As far as damage items for him go, I usually opt for either a or. Abyssal is probably better overall as it's less of a selfish option and you're likely always going to be standing right in the midst of the enemy for maximum effectiveness, but a Wit's can be incredibly powerful (not to mention absolutely hysterical) if the conditions are right. You'll tear pretty much anything to shreds in the midgame once you've maxed your shield and nobody yet has a quick and easy way to break it.
