You say that, but have you actually tested it recently? Because it "Returns incoming damage before all reductions" and borrowed time is listed as a reduction.

Nobody wants to hit you then anyway, so what's the point? You would not get it with the primary goal of using it with borrowed time, but as a bonus. Like mentioned above, running into a Invoker's meat ball or Sven's cleave. Or ult out off a stun so you can activate it and deal damage when the big follow up combo hits. But all this comes down to whether someone can confirm if it works or not.
I just tested it in a lobby: Blademail and Borrowed time activated at the same time and you still reflect the damage. So Abaddon is healed by the damage and the opponents get damaged by the blademail return. It's also the same for aphotic shield. The shielded target absorbs the damage, but the attacking targets still take damage from blademail return.
But obviously enemies don't want to damage you when borrowed time is activated so i think blademail is still a rather questionable item.

Radiance whe he's 1 pos I haven't made up my mind on, or 1 pos in general.
I think offlane aba is great, but radiance is pretty terrible. Usually you crush your lane, have phase vlads or hod, are dominating the game, then waste your advantage by spending 10 mins farming a radiance. It's been awful every time I try it and it even looks awful when pros (bulba!!!!) do it. On that note with hod dead I'm not 100% sure on standard build. I think phase vlads I don't think you go drums anymore (I used to) solar crest is option though for first item. It's quite good.

Worth watching to see what happens when Abba gets top networth and basically most of his dream items. He had a pretty good mid game, but when once it got late the team just did not have a draft that could capitalize off of an annoying abbadon.
Also fucken right click venomancer that game....

all the chinese teams are running radiance abaddon of some form, it's trending so hot right now. wanna c what happens

I've been running aba in the offlane, HotD, phase, urn into radiance. 0 4 4. It's surprisingly good.
Radiance is not too hard to farm, you don't need to afk farm it, you can fight pretty well too, aba is very strong/obnoxious with those items, if gotten in a timely manner.
I find it quite potent in pubs, at least.
