^Yep exactly. You're right in every sense. If you're ahead, 1-2 DBs for sustain (+ better last hits, etc.), if you're behind, get started on your build right away. DBs don't help much midgame. Otherwise, you'll just put yourself way behind the enemy carry because of the reasons you mentioned (it doesn't build into anything else, you have to sell it later, etc.). Make sure to get an early Vampiric Scepter as well if you're not getting Dorans.
