If you can hold out for an extra 200 gold before backing, Deathbringer will give you almost a 100 DPS increase compared to Wind Demon (When Wind Demon's passive is active, Deathbringer still has a higher DPS of around 30).
However, the attack speed boost from Wind Demon can help you refresh the poison effect from Poisoned Star. Depending on the situation, this can be potentially more helpful than Deathbringer.
So, as I mentioned, it really comes down to preference and how you are playing at that point of the match, but I feel that both options are viable.
