The drop in sustain is due to the comparable damage between IE and BT. Before, fully stacked, BT offered more sustained damage since you could stay in the battle longer than with just damage and heal up in between skirmishes with the other ADC. Now, it's a little harder to get out the damage as well as heal back up, which is why IE is now in favor. The increase in price for BT didn't help. Now for 300g you get your major damage item instead of your major sustain. And an early Vamp Sceptre means you have most of your sustain as well already anyway.
