5 seconds can be a long time and plenty of time to get 1800 damage dealt. On a tank it's more than viable against an early dive. And late game where you still get 400 damage crits from ADC's.

And the tank not wanting to be focussed is very useful with champions that can also dish out damage like Irelia. This item has synergy with Trinity Force so she deals 472.5 damage with a TF proc at level 18 with no other Offensive items/runes/masteries. She deals 561 TF proc with the activation of this item. You don't want to focus her? Great! You want to focus her? Even better!
