IMO you shouldn't get last whisper because it is wasted on wukong due to the fact that amor reductions work like this. % redction first. Flat reduction 2nd. Flat penetration 3rd and % reduction last. So your Q actually makes your last whisper worse. Whereas if you had a black cleaver and starks they would comliment your Q.

Here's an example 200 amor target. -30% from your Q. Now down to 140 armor. With last whisper you ignore 40% of 140 or 56 leaving the target with 84 armor. Now 200 armor target -30% from Q. Now down to 140 armor. With Black cleaver you ignore 45 more. Bringing it down to 95. Add in starks ferverand it drops to 75. Now le's do an 80 armor target like Ashe. 80 - 30% from Q. 56 armor left. -40% more brings it down to 33.6 or 34 armor. Which with armor pen runes and masteries equaling 31 armor pen would put them at 3 armor. Now 80 armo target. 80 - 30% from Q. 56 armor left -20 from starks. 36 armor left. -45 from black cleaver = -9 armor so they actually take MORE damage from physical.

Also you can run flat AD marks and Quints instead of armor pen because you won't need it unless you want to be a tank killer. And if you have anyone else with armo redction like trundle or kayle or urgot or corki, taric etc. It just makes it even easier to get people into the negatives.

TLDR For Wukong black cleaver + starks > last whisper for all targets under 300 armor. Proven by math. It does cost more money but also provides much much more damage from armor pen atk damage and attack speed.
