Well, I would never buy Hauting Guise if I weren't to buy Liandry, it would just be a waste. Either you upgrade it to Liandry or don't buy Hauting Guise at all.

With that said, I buy Liandry on  mages or AP bruisers and tanks that benefit more from magic penetration due to them having bad AP scalings or an ability that benefits from magic penetration due to dealing magic damage, but does not scale with AP. Examples are Zac, Mordekaiser, Brand, Dr. Mundo, Fiddlesticks

DoT mages cal also benefit from it because they can proc the passive for a longer time than burst mages.

Liandry's Torment isn't bad, it's just a situtional item.
