We're getting a bit off topic but TBC was a completely different item in season 2 (flat reduction off autoattacks instead of % shred off physical damage).
I also rarely compare TBC to Last Whisper (if you look at my Panth build on the previous page, I get LW unless I'm too far behind and just buy hex instead). Cooper asked about TBC versus ghostblade which is what I was comparing.
Look at the current meta top laners. Most of them are magic, or at least don't deal significant physical damage. Maokai, Lulu, Ryze, Kayle etc. That's why I would consider cleaver to be more situational than ghostblade -- since you're not guaranteed to have more than one other source of physical damage on your team.

Makes me wonder what champs are sleeps right now and should i go find them my self.
The time will come where everyone gets Zephyr :D. Well, the only things which it doesn't give are armorpen and crit compared to Youmuu's Ghostblade, but for that, more AS and potential more MS (free boot choice). Also, that not only for 6 secodns. Combine these 2 for splitpushing like a madman :D.

This means that unless you have several teammates who can make use of the shred, it's not really worth it for your personal damage output compared to ghostblade.
You would never buy it strictly for your own armor shred, Last Whisper is pretty much always more effective and significantly cheaper.
Dignitas also ran Black Cleaver on Corki in season 2, the entire point was to shred damage for every other champion, at that point the comp does not entirely revolve around you. If you're running a triple AD comp you're probably going to be dealing more damage collectively as a team if you're buffing 3 people rather than using last whisper. the entire point of getting black cleaver on corki is it's not about your damage
