Asking for help with Vayne builds (Lengthy text)

It's been quite sometime since I've really played adc religiously; and with the patches from the beginning of the season changing everything and new items coming into meta (Such as ghostblade.); I've become a little lost. I myself prefer starting blade of the ruined king over Bt/I.E (so theres no issue as for a first item.) However; I myself am having a hard time choosing between Phantom Dancer; Stattik Shiv and Ghostblade! I understand the difference between the shiv and the Phantom Dancer; (I.E) you get shiv to trade better earlier on and give you a little more of a fighting chance, or you can get phantom dancer and aim for an even better late game; But ghostblade just throws me completely off. I understand why it may be good and how it can be used in synergy with her short range kit (being the 20% MS and 40% AS buff when active) but is it really worth it? I think its great that it gives some armor pen. and even a little CDR; but when the ghostblades active itself is on cooldown; isn't it a bit useless? Or do you guys believe that the armor pen it provides early delays the need for a Last whisperer so you can build one of the big swords earlier (I.E/BT/Merc. Scim). Any opinions on this would be much appreciated, I'm open to any advice anyone has to offer. Also; out of curiosity, Do you guys change your second item as a PD/Shiv/Ghostblade depending on the team comps/ situation at hand (Seeing as they're all used for relatively used for the same thing; When would you use ghost blade over PD or shiv?) Thanks again and I'm awfully sorry for the length of this post!

IE second. You ahve alot of AS from bork and boots.

The reason is that your tumble and ult bonus damage also crit.
