If you want to pad prices, add scepter to IE, it gives sustain as well and more dps.

The problem with rushing BT is that you're delaying IE too much, typically as a third or even last item (most folks get GA or QSS earlier for survi). And once you finish PD, there is no contest in DPS between IE + PD and BT + PD. Also, if you get dominated, you probably won't keep stacks up anyway, so cost-effectiveness of BT takes a dip.
