For those unaware:

>AD 25 to 45 >Attack speed 40% to 25% >Lifesteal 10% to 15% >Health drain on active removed

To be honest, I don't think these changes will make BorK more attractive as a first item on Marksmen. No one wants it. I mean, seriously, no one wants it as a first item. Everyone is better off with Lethality or Crit. Even Kog performs better starting with Wit's or Hurricane.

So how about something totally different?

Try giving it magic OnHit damage and a new passive that applies Lifesteal to all OnHit damage dealt. That might actually be worth buying for OnHit focused champions.

The whole change seems unreasonable,the item that has on-hit effect got its attack speed lowered and ad increased,and one of the best aspects of the item,the health steal that would actually give some adcs that build it some dueling power is gone. If i was reworking the item id keep it the way it was,only thing id do would trade the health steal part,that would probably heal you for 150-350 in most cases,for a flat 300hp bonush hp on the item,with all of the AS it wouldnt be abused by bruisers,and it would make adcs less squishy if they build it,cause not in every situation you have the option to steal the health with its active,that could have maybe saved your life if you had that 250-300 hp extra
