Eh, Tooth seems fine for an offensive build. Attack Speed is good, MP5 is good, and it's not like CDR is actually bad on him, since you're attacks will just take time off the new and improved cooldowns for even more spam.

I think though, if you were to switch, I'd go for something like Reverie, or something that gives a little more survivability like Aegis or whatever you need to counter the enemy composition. You're skipping on Lifesteal/Spell Vamp and resist to a degree, so you're relatively easy to kill even with W.

If you just wanted a cheaper item though, you might consider Malady or Wit's End. More power? Go Gunblade, but you're already kind of pushing the limits of what you'll normally be able to buy in a given game.
