When this gets reworked, there will be no AS+AD cheap item (Well, besides Zephyr). It may not look a great loss, but it actually had a lot of building potential, as some bruisers go AD+AS, and some carries can benefit from it too if their enemies are not smart enough to build armor (Which still happens most of the times, you can still go to Trynd's page and find somebody crying "OP NERF" each week). And then, what about hybrids? They're the ones that find harder to mix enough items to get a good chuck of AD, AP, and AS combined. As I told you some threads ago, I find that Kayle, per example, actually finds this item really benefiting, mixing base shred from TBC and percentual shred from her passive for great success, while the stats are pretty much necessary.

My point here is that it's not bad that Riot wanted to adapt this item for AD casters too, but it would've just required to switch the B. F. Sword for a Brutalizer and change the passive so it applies to physical abilities too. But taking away the AS is just like "Hey, f*ck you carries, bruisers and hybrids, we actually preffer the AD casters over you all", and personally, I don't find the percentual shred that useful. What do they want us to do? Dive against Malphite? Because it's no longer going to be that useful against squishies.
