Attack speed, Magic Resist, and an on-hit that also synergizes with Flare are all excellent items combined on a champion that has an AS steroid to proc more on-hits, an AD steroid to make the most of the extra attack speed, and the sustained damage-dealing kit to take advantage of a bit of extra staying power.

Since Wit's End gives all of these helpful stats all at once for a pretty reasonable price, it is a good option for summoners who are trying to carefully balance their damage and resists.

Spirit Viseage exists, and can be built alongside any of the mentioned items. The fact that more than one item gives magic resist does not make all the rest pointless. Beside that, Spirit Viseage is a lot of gold to sink into a dedicated defensive item when some hybrid offense/defense may be called for in the situation.

The funny thing about MR shred is that it works for champions other than the one holding the item, and the MR shred isn't even the most important stat on the item.
