I played a lot of Blue Varus in the botlane to great success. The only thing he suffers is that for a while, you might run in mana problems because of lack of Blue Buff until you have...about 450 - 550 Mana on your Tear/Muramana. He doesn't have sustain problems because he can build BOTRK or BT easily and he doesn't lack in the Crit Chance until very very very late into the game because he can poke from afar and do a lot of damage without getting himself into trouble.

There is really nothing to be worth about building into a standard build with Varus. He lack an ondemand AS steroid, he lacks an AD Steroid, his own OnHit is worthless unless you proc it with an Ability and using his skills drains your mana heavily.

Blue Varus combines a good deal of his own great AD Ratios by allowing you to spam abilities. Piercing Arrow is just a great waveclear + poke tool if you have the mana to burn(which the build has) and in the later stages of the game when your autos matter more, you can toggle the Muramana, get IE and do a lot of on-hit damage with things such as Youmuu, Blighter Quiver and BOTRK.

The only thing you have to worry is to not take fights head on unless you already poked someone down. His build is really cheap and has plenty of fallback(if you somehow can't control the lane, back with 720g and build a Tear, you will control the lane in no time) and also scales tremendously well. Really. Try it out. It really works wonders.
