^Philo is bad on lux. Unless you're aiming for Shurelya, wich for me is not the best item for her, is pretty much a waste. The mana regen is nice, but the health regeneration is not. As lux, get caught and die. Or be about to get poket and shield it. No need for that health regeneration.

About the free gold... Well, people have this thing that makes them belive they are getting free gold the moment they get a GP10 item. But is not like that. A GP10 item only gives you free gold when it has payed itself. So when you pay 700G for a Philo, until it gave you 700 free gold, you're not gettin anything for free. To get that money back you need to keep that item around 20 minutes. And usually you get philo at the minute...10? 8? Wich means, it will start to give you free gold when you've been playing 30 minutes at least. Sometimes games won't last that long, and even if they do, if you get only 700G for 20 minutes, how much time are you gonna wait with philo to get a significant amount of gold?

In season 3 games are much faster than they were before. More like a farm poke and get the kill at bottom than AFK farming, wich is what most of the times you could see at bottom in season 2. So GP10 items are not good in  this season unless you want the passives they gave regardless of the "free" gold and you want to upgrade them. I
