It's true that Rageblade's last change was made to discourage people from rushing it, but that's unfortunately not the case. I've just tested on PBE, with Varus, against dummies, without taking any points on W because dummies have 10k HP and Blight's damage would skyrocket with AP. For the same reason I did not hit them with my R but I did use it to activate Reaver's bonus AS.

Level 6, no other items except for Rageblade / Reaver. With Rageblade uncharged, in a 3 AA - E 3 AA - Q combo, Rageblade got 101 DPS while Reaver (with its 30% AS) got 105. When charged, Rageblade skyrockets to 131 DPS. I'd assume that if I do hit a target with around 850 HP (average ADC at level 6) with ultimate and Blight stacks, Rageblade would surpass ER's DPS even if uncharged.

Nashor's Tooth provides less DPS than Rageblade as well (without mentioning Rageblade's build path being better) so that's not an option either.
