You shouldnt need it.
I waste of an item slot on him that could go towards a better item.

That's debatable. I find that manamune can be my only attack item and still hit over 200 AD by end game, giving similar results with significantly lower costs compared to a trinity or an ie, which most people seem to switch it out for. Upon getting it around early, mid game you should have an ad of around 130, which isn't that bad for one item. Sheen is a debatable replacement for early game, but it doesn't provide the same consistency of damage as a manamune does.
Then again, that's if I'm mana stacking, which I only do against not very high burst damage teams, as the mana shield won't kick in if you go from whatever percent it activates at to zero in one ability.
Still, I find for sure that it's more consistent in damage compared to a trinity, and less costly than an ie, so I believe it's a better alternative than those.

Wait
are you not building a trinity on blitz?
what
Also, manamune might give the same amount of +damage from IE/Tri-Force.... but their passives are better.

Considering it's cost and it's actual usefulness on him, it has its place in some games, but for the most part it's too much gold for something that can be solved by another item or two. The slow is nice, sure, but your grab and punch should keep them there long enough already for your team to get in on it. The speed boost and attack speed boost aren't really necessary, overdrive fits that need well enough. And the proc damage is fine, but it's not as consistent as I'd prefer. In the time I can punch somebody with the proc, punch a few more times, then proc again, I could have done the equivilant or more damage with just a regular ad item.
And the passives are nice, but manamune is cheaper, a little under 2000 if I remember correctly. That additional 2000 i have to spend that would have gotten me trinity or ie could be spent on tankier items to go into a tanky dps or off tank. Which I find more useful.
