Asuming its an lv 18 Zed, with maxed skills and only a BotrK/BT, Ult gets casted first (No runes, no masterys, just comparing the 2 items)

1 Autohit +1 Q  + Shadow Q + E + BotrK + Ult =  1540 DMG

The same Setup with a fully farmed bloodthirster does 1631.25 dmg.

1 Autohit + 1BoTrK + Ult =510 Dmg

1 Autohit + Ult with BT = 337.5 dmg.

So.... the bloodthirster needs at last 20 stacks to outdamage the BotrK in a full combo, and it provides better Aoe Damage - generally, the more skills and AA's you get off, the better bloodthirster will be.

Zed with BotrK will deal more dmg than Zed with a BT to a single target, but has worse Aoe-Damage. If you don't get to farm BT, or need one single quick burst, BotrK should be better.

Guess this also makes it better than Sanguine's Blade as long as one goes for single target damage.
