Glad to help you. The reasons I don't like those two items on Skarner are pretty simple: for IE, crits work well if you can make full use of them - since Devourer's damage doesn't crit, I don't see it being very worthwile. Bloodthirster could be nice if you think it's worth it, the only thing that concerns me is that you can't make full use of lifesteal since you can't autoattack during your ult.

Thinking about it, if you want lifesteal and raw physical damage, I think Hydra can be worth a try. Its synergy with Iceborn is ridiculous. A friend of mine used to build it on Skarner whenever he got fed and it wrecked.
