The problem is that you are thinking in terms of poke. Crit + Attack speed needs to always be thought of in DPS. The reason why people get this item early on is that it allows them to duel the enemy better rather than poking. The cooldown on spells is typically much larger than the cooldown between attacks. If you like poking the enemy, by all means do it, but don't invest in a dps item on a poking champion.
