Pro Commentary
Pros and Cons
PROS
Large amount of burst damage
Ultimate has very long range
Has a long range escape ability
Can shred armor off of opponents
Passive gives true damage
CONS
Runs out of mana quickly
Ultimate has a restricted amount that must regenerate over time
I play Corki as my main champion and I always have been forced to buy early mana items, is there a way that I can avoid this and follow the main build or should I continue with the mana items? Also as a side note to this I play a very aggressive style of play.

Are you sure about switching Black Cleaver for Last Whisper for penetration. If you do the maths, Black Cleaver is only more efficient than Last Whisper if the targets have very low values of armor. Last Whisper provides you with 35% penetration and Black Cleaver gives maximum 25% penetration + 10 flat penetration. This means that even if you have a fast way to apply full stacks, Last Whisper will still give more penetration if 10% of the targets armor equals more than 10 armor. Corki can apply stacks with Black Cleaver in two ways, basic attacks and his E. Everything else is magic damage.
I think if you only get one item for penetration, Last Whisper is always a better choice for every ADC. There are of course armor shread builds such as Miss Fortune with Bloodthirster, Black Cleaver and Last Whisper. Combined with an AD assassin/caster like Kha'Zix who builds Last Whisper early you can really shred armor and assassinate people.
As long as Gatling Gun is up, (which obviously applies the stacks) their armor is reduced by another flat 20 and since armor pen is applied after armor reduction and flat reduction is applied before % reduction which reduces armor by (flatred 20)+25%+(flat pen10) they need more than ~165 armor for last whisper to break even - not accounting for the additional health and +10 AD black cleaver provides also the cdr is pretty nice to have those rockets up more often
If I get Cleave after Scepter, will I be a threat mid game with all that armor shred? And why not max your Gatling first? I'm sure the armor shred would help you out more in lane than the Bomb.
Usually you max damaging magic dmg dealing skills early in bot lane because of the extra burst they provide and how well they scale with levels - AD skills usually scale better into late game - also your enemy probably has flat armor yellows and/or masteries and either manareg oder scaling mres blues meaning that your magic dmg will hurt pretty hard in the laning phase
I pref to build Trinity Force, I.E then Last Whisper. Instead of getting B.T and QSS First. When you got Trinity Force and I.E. You'll be around mid/late game anyway, and you'll need the armor pen to win the TF's.
Eh, it's really situational. Usually IE and BT are enough to easily kill anyone. The LW is useful if all of them are building tanky. It depends on the scenario.

Posted 12/31/2012 5:35:59 PMI'd really suggest against it. It's really great for champs that need the utility, but as ADC you want just to be building massive damage.
That being said I find that Frozen Fist can be good for kiting and damage.
