Stats going to waste is never, ever a problem in League of Legends.

The stat that is going to waste costs very little (mana in the recipe is provided by a 400 gold sapphire crystal). The advantages gained and the synergies are way, way too good to pass on.

Same thing with several champions, such as Sheen on Talon (Trinity is a Riot recommended item for him), Garen, Olaf, Riven.

Lichbane is excellent on any mage and AP hypercarry who wants to transform his auto-attacks into AP boosted spells, something that certain champions (e.g. Veigar) benefit hugely from. Lichbane synergizes perfectly with AP boosters and provides an alternative to other Movement Speed items when an AP user needs it and just doesn't want to buy special boots, zeals or FoN.

Lichbane on Kennen makes him a dangerous surprize-burster and synergizes with his stun-kit.
