Most people don't buy the item for its stats or % health damage per hit. They buy it because the active is a very powerful nuke/self-peel.

People buy it on AD carries like Kog'maw because the active gives you an extra kite/escape and the heal also helps.

On Zed the active deals far more than 15% of the target's max HP because Zeds use it while the target is affected by - the BORK active essentially gives Zed's target 0 chance for survival because he's slowed, Zed is hasted and is hitting him.
