It gives less AS, by 10%, as well as -250 HP, but grants 20% crit and 8% movespeed, which are more valuable stats goldwise.

It charges more slowly if just standing and AAing, but if chasing if should be as fast if not faster.

In season 3, PD will cost 300 gold more (2800), grant 10% more AS, 10% more crit and 3% less Movement speed, but allow you to ignore unit collision.

You'd need to do some math to figure out which is better in which circumstances, but in general, Statikk Shiv does more damage initially and when moving around a ton (hello vayne), while PD does more sustained damage due to greater stats and is better on melee carries, as unit collision is a constant thorn in their side.
