How does Ashe's Q work with the new BC?

I'm curious if Ashe's new Q will give you 5 Black Cleaver stacks instantly for if only the original auto attack will give you a stack. If it gives you 5 instantly what are the chances of playing tank shredder Ashe with Black Cleaver, Runnan's Hurricane, BotRK, and Last Whisper?

She will get the Black Cleaver stacks from Q active because it is physical damage. She already has enough shred with Black Cleaver and Last Whisper because of her critting every time after the first auto. Those crits hits very hard if you have Infinity Edge and Phantom Dancer as the only crit items. (Critical Rate is a must on her because of how her passive work, overall giving her more damage after the 1st auto.) For Runnan's Hurricane, I know how it works with the Q but not sure if it's worth it to replace Phantom Dancer. For BotRK, a situational Item really. You can either go for Bloodthirster or BotRK but for my personal preference with this new Ashe I tested on PBE, I would go for Bloodthirster.

Example of my new Ashe's build on PBE: item 3031 item 3046 item 3072 item 3071 item 3035 item 3006 (These would do fine against tanky champions, again this is a personal preference!)

Each hit applies a stack of Cleave.

Keep in mind Last Whisper and Black Cleaver stack MULTIPLICATIVELY. As in LW pierces the 70% of their total Armor they have remaining for a total reduction of 54.5%, not 65%.

On-hit effects such as BotRK are only applied once on the first hit, not on all 5 hits. That'd be broken as shit. BotRK is still a decent item on her, though. If only because I can't think of an AD champion that it isn't a decent item on.
