Just curious, when do you build double PD on an ADC?

We know the typical build revolves around IE/BotRK > PD > Berserkers > LW > Defensive Item > BT

I see people building double PD sometimes and my questions are,

When do you decide its necessary to have double PD?
What do you take out of your regular build for it?

It is never necessary. That setup is a "winmoar" that you exclusively use to multiply the shit out of your snowballing if you're already ahead. The item combo is extremely unreliable in virtually every other situation however, and so isn't reliable to do in virtually any other case.
Depending on stage of game/enemy team, probably boots. Become a walking circle of death and all that. Slow isn't a problem if nobody survives long enough to touch you and you have exceedingly long range to abuse it . The lifesteal item of the build, if it hasn't been completed yet, is another candidate for me.

Unless you're trying to play dunkmaster style otherwise I don't think double PD is ever a brilliant idea, or if you must due to personal preferences, make the second PD the last item I would imagine.

Then again, I would say trading that second PD for say a GA or a Banshee would be far more efficient and useful but it's just me, unless you're winning super hard then yea, go for it.
