You cannot magically kill tankers faster than frail targets, no matter how much "tank shred" you add in your attacks. Tank shredding means that you can kill a tank as easy as a squishy. For example, imagine if Last Whisper gave 10 ad and 90% armor pen. It wouldn't significantly increase your total %dps against weak targets, but it would make tough targets take it as soft ones.

Killing a Udyr 33% as fast as a Veigar is still significantly fast, so anything that is "tank shredder", backed up with some dps, must end up being "everything shredder": after all, it was strong enough to take on the beefiest enemy around.

In season 3, bruisers get tanky mainly by building health. RK scales out of health. So, low-health people will take great damage, high-health people will take comparably great damage, hence "tank shredder". Of course, RK by itself it won't take you far, but neither Last Whisper alone will without some good backup damage.
