Titanic doesn't work as well as people think; life steal actually supports his playstyle more after a bare minimum because of how much health he already has. I'd basically get it as soon as I have the health in place. And as good as cleaver is, the only reason it's good as a rush is the CDR (well, total stat combination is great, actually). You can rune for that. the armour pen doesn't become beneficial til later. And though, you don't get the full benefit from botrk either before later, I think the 4 rapid hits at the start of the fight having current health damage and the lifesteal you get back could be worth it.

The issue is the cdr, though. I've been getting death's dance recently, and though it's rough to replace health that way, you get a LOT out of it due to Q being single target. We are talking 2-3 casts and you've made back the health you get from BC, not to mention the other burst you have. So if you play like a blitzer with it, you're better off, but it depends on whether you lose your advantage in lane and how long the fights last.

The lifesteal also help you once you're off your mount, and the tiny bit of AS gives you that early follow through you need. AND the stickiness helps even further. So it depends on whether you can find the CDR replacement via runes or build order. And his W proc does proc lifesteal, too. In my potential end build, I'd think it'd take the place of blood thirster (gung ho, I know, but I'm trying to find the limits) and maybe push it higher up on the order.

Because of how much damage you'll do in the first rotation, you might just push them out of lane because of it. roughly 30% current, 10% max, and AS for follow through that you didn't have before as well lifesteal synergy I think might make it a priority, even you should prioritize CDR otherwise.
