Very simple answer, look at the champions who actually rush Bloodthirster like Ezreal (mandatory) or Miss Fortune (situational), what they share in common is the fact that their damage does not just come from their auto-attacks, but also their abilities. Bloodthirster and it's high attack damage scales with many core abilities (Ez's Q or MF's ult) allowing them to do more damage. Blade of Ruined King with it's measly + 40 damage clearly fail to deliver in this scenario.

However, I do agree that with the current ease of acess to Warmogs, Blade of Ruined Kings is extremely good as a secondary item agaisnt health stackers
