The item scaled EXTROADINARILY well with FULL tanks, but nobody picks full tanks in last season because the damage ratios were skyrocketed, and it was best to pick champs like Vel'Koz and just burst the other team out. The only full tank that really unlocked it's full potential was Rammus. But Rammus BROKE this item hard. It is very cost effective, giving 100% efficency at level 13 for all champs, but like level 5 for tanks. True, this was a must have item for tanks at one point, but there are other items to allow tanks to contribute damage, Iceborn Gauntlet, Sunfire Cape (Or JG alternative, Cinderhulk) Thornmail, and Abyssal Scepter. They reduced the damage of full tanks to allow slower people that play ADC's to be able to pick kills up easier, But added Masteries like Expose Weakness so that the others can kill quicker and pick kills up more effectively. You don't need tanks for damage anymore. Just to CC the opposing team quickly, and burning them down to 50% so your allies that do damage can quickly pick the kills up. That's what people have a hard time understanding. As a tank, your basically a support with more damage absorbing abilities. You don't really kill unless the target is about to get away with 2% HP.
