I'm not sure hydra really pays off. Even with around 250 AD from hydra+ulti you deal less than 150 damage aoe, reduced to less than 100 by armor That is 32 damage healed per enemy champion every auto. Say 4 champs (target +3) give you around 100 healing per hit.

With BT you get +6 damage = +2.5 hp on main target, 166*0.08 = 13.3 heal per attack, but More important on Q you get 5.8+0.08*stacks healing with 500 stacks that's 31.8 extra healing per Q.

So on a Q it would be 47.6 extra healing on main target. This means you need to have 3 close-by enemies (target+2) for hydra to be more slot-efficient than BT.

I consiederd that active+regen and shied balance each-other. I thin I would prefer the shield, but not by far.

Maybe hydra+IBG to stick to all targets could be nice.
