ADC thresh sorta goes like this:

Early game: Thresh is seriously weak, all his other skills give no poke. This means that you need someone like taric or soraka to make it a farm lane.

Early-mid: Thresh gets his first major item (i ususally go for IE first with him), he can deal quite a bit of damage if given the chance, and has quite nice burst. However his DPS is still way lower than most ADC's

Mid: Second item comes out (usually BT or BoTK), his DPS is still lacking, however he's usually slightly tankier than most other ADC's. Burst gets higher still.

Mid-late: 3rd possibly 4th item by now. (usually Triforce for me) His burst is now Crazy, about 300 AD with up to 150 souls makes each AA deal at least 400 MD (before MR), with full E passive and triforce, thresh can easily deal 1400 MD with one AA. His DPS is still lower, but makes up for it with tankiness.

Late: 5th item out, thresh could have up to 300 souls by now. He finally catches up with other ADC's in terms of DPS (but not with someone like jax or master yi) and is far tankier than most other ADC's. He'll also have a fair bit of AP

Super late game: Full build thresh, with up to 400 souls. One shots most squishies, has the highest sustained DPS in game after nasus, and is tankier than the tank. His AOE damage will also be quite powerful

EVEN LATER GAME: as soon as thresh hits over 700 souls, its GG for the enemy unless they either A: get REALLY lucky or B: Have a nasus or veigar (sion won't do a thing most of the time). By this time thresh would most likely be the tankiest champ on the field and deal the most DPS too. At this time he may decide to go rabodons and lich bane/ nashor's tooth for stupid amounts of AOE damage.
