You don't build/pick Tank Vi for midgame damage. You do it for the lockdown, shred and the early ganks. Seems... painfully obvious.
I think a big issue is people have some misconceptions about when items like BC are strong and keep trying to fill inappropriate niches with it.
Triforce is great on a lot of people, but because IBG is a lot more niche, it's gonna fall by the wayside unless you're Skarner or something.
Cinderhulk makes so many tank paths significantly more efficient. My gold standard for variable theoretical build paths on bruisers/tanks is GP. Full tank after your one damage item, Frozen Mallet/BC/Cinderhulk, Triforce/Hexdrinker/Warrior, random Hydra if you're lane GP, so on, so forth.

More painfully obvious is there are plenty of other junglers who offer lockdown/shred and about the same level of early ganking. Unless u pick vi early in draft and your team comp leaves u as the only tank/engager I don't think cinderhulk is ever the best option on her.
