@ShatteredBow: I'm not saying you should always take it, I'm saying you can take it, or maybe take a Rejuvenation Bead and build it into Ravenous Hydra as sixth item. And, as I mentioned below, if you have a good Orianna in your team or something like that, you can also take it. But I believe I've already said a million times before that Bloodthirster is my first choice normally.

I think it can be compared to taking a Youmuu's Ghostblade in S2, which I did once because I had sooooooooooooooooooo much gold that I could buy it for the +5 ArPen and +5% cooldown reduction. A good buy? Normally not, but if you have enough gold that it doesn't really matter anyways what you buy from it (as you'll have too much damage for them to handle no matter what you buy), you can as well buy those items where you waste some of the stats, but also get some stats you can't get otherwise.
