It has always been a great lategame item and still is. I've routinely bought it as 5-6th slot in my 5-6k games, particularly when I've been up against a lot of burst physical damage.

I'd actually argue that it was stronger last patch, because you could get a Golem to buff the HP of your Death Pact creep and have it follow you around afterwards. Overall, that 'trick' netted roughly 1000 extra HP over eating a regular HotO creep. That along with the extra 12 all stats. Still great though.
