Visage mid: When to pick and how to itemize?

I recently saw Edje's video on mid visage and was wondering how accurate his build is. Obviously, he's someone that most shouldn't take word for word since some of his builds are memes.

To me, picking visage mid is when the enemy does not have a DOT hero mid (viper, qop, venomancer, etc.). Is visage worth if they have a non-mid dot hero, like warlock for example?

He seems to be passive with pretty poor wave clear, so maybe also not versus pushers like DK.

Items EDJE goes for is midas, tranqs, solar, then AC rush. Midas makes a lot of sense on an xp dependent hero with not much wave clear, so midas makes sense. I know visage is slow, but is it really worth going tranqs when half the time it's down? Treads seems to be better in my eyes, but maybe I'm missing something else. Solar, totally makes sense, very good synergy. But ac rush, not really sure about that. In the game I played visage mid after watching his video , I went for an atos after since it's a lot of health and disable. (Not to defend my 15-13 score, but I was getting focused and my main job as a mid was to make space for my safelane naga by applying early pressure. I still should have been a bit more careful though.) Other options for the 3rd core item slot to me would be hood, maelstrom, or force.

Tl;Dr: Look at the dota buff link, was my score ok as the mid visage since my job is to make space? Also, look at the other link showing edje's mid visage build, how good is his item build?
