"This item seems absolutely terrible on ADC (mana is not needed, CDR is not needed, weak and cost-inefficient stats otherwise, while being the less slot-efficient completed AD item),"

It really seems like Manamune all over again. Were you around to see how the community reacted? Everyone thought it'd be overpowered, hilarious XD

"If you're a caster ADC like  Lucian,  Ezreal and  Corki , all of whom heavily rely on spells to deal damage, this is going to be a dream,"

I think it'll have some curious interactions with Ezreal since his Q will be refund mana if it hits enemies, I'm not sure it'll work on many if any ADCs at all. You're inferring that since this item will allow ADCs to fire their spells more frequently due to a greater artificial mana pool, this will ultimately benefit them greater. The problem here is that A. not all caster ADCs work by poking several times with spells (Lucian, Varus, and Graves generally want to burst you down within a spell rotation combined with AAs) and B. you can already greatly improve mana usage by making your spells deal more damage through building AD, this has the added benefit of making your AAs stronger and its a stat that force multiplies attack speed and crit chance.

" especially if you pair it up with Black Cleaver ."

I'm not sure making your spells cooldown 1/5 quicker is worth spending so much gold on when you could be making your items be doing so much more for you.
