In theory, if you are really behind and you need a lot of lifesteal to freeze the lane, then yes, otherwise you are probably better off getting some dorans to snowball your lane.

However, unless you are at 2000 elo or playing competitive, as long as you build items that are not blatantly countered by the enemy team and synergise properly with your champ you should do pretty well if you play correctly. If you like building EC, by any means do so.
