I really think the "jungle" aspect of this item blinds people to the viability of it in-lane. For the (very low) price you're looking at a plethora of useful stats, and Butcher isn't entirely useless as you can clear enemy wraiths a bit faster (or more if you're gutsy). And don't forget the utility it brings to those early Dragon contests. The only real deterrant is the fact that for most AP champs spell vamp is not a great stat.
