I can see instances where you're getting crushed against a high-damage AP lane and countering with chalice/mercury treads, but otherwise I don't see why you'd delay getting a Zhonyas/DFG (depending on matchup and game composition). If you're ahead, then getting your core item faster will do you more good than a chalice will.
That's what i said, i only get it if i need to get it when i'm getting crushed, because it gives me a form of sustain and a form of MR, i will rush DFG if i'm extremely ahead(/not behind).

I think I'm done with this game for now. It's fun but there is too much mental upkeep required for my wee brain, especially if I ever want to be good at it or play with like, real people.
I'll still be following this thread though!

Gotcha. The item flow thing threw me off.
Yeah thing is i'm one of the very few lower elo players that actually realize, if your behind, get some defensive stats and farm the fuck up.
Then there is the average player that gets behind and walks into the middle of the lane every minute to get themselves killed.
But yeah i think i will keep going with the pen boots given what has been said here.
That being said, i always find it entertaining whenever i play Thresh top lane, and keep the lane frozen just outside my turret, and they always managed to get dragged under the turret for some free turret damage.
