Actually this item offer more sustain then the The_Bloodthirster when the enemy has more then 1900 hp. This item give you more dmg then The_Bloodthirster when the enemy has more then 3000 health ( actually not difficult in this health stacking meta )

Attacking a 2000 health enemy will give you 12 hp every hit, assuming the enemy have 100 armor ( not counting your armor penetration, your base ad and the active of the item). The_Bloodthirster  actually give you a range of lifesteal starting from 4,2 hp ( 0 stacks ) up to 9 hp ( full stacks ). Same enemy whit 3000 hp instead of 2000 will give u 22 hp every hit vs 9 hp ( bt full stacks). heal are calculated when the enemy bar is at 50% so you heal more  in the beginning and less on the final blow.

With the active you gain a small burst of health ( 150+ 0,5* total ad ) speed, and an useful slow for chasing, escaping or peeling.

So imho this item is the best if you want pure sustain on tanky dps ( irelia, olaf, jax, fiora, ww...), if you want dmg vs a squishy opponent ( less then 2000 hp) go for  The_Bloodthirster, but if you have 3 or more high hp opponent, or you feel that you need more sustain, pick this
