Looks like Riot agrees with me.

Buff its numbers, but increse the cost.

Some changes that I really like are on the PBE right now, as @Areyou23 said:

"Essence Reaver Not sure how I feel about the build path though, but I do see that they're trying to focus it more as a legitimate alternate to other LS items.
 * Total Cost increased to 3400g from 2650g
 * Now Builds from BF sword + Vamp Scepter
 * Attack damage increased to 80 from 60"
