Core means they're generally "Essential" items that's meant to be built 9 out of Situational items are for certain situations as the name suggests.

Linken's Sphere for example is a core item on Weaver but may be a situational item on someone like Brewmaster. Not the best example but hey : Edit: A better example would probably be a Pipe or Mekansm. Certain heroes have Mekansm as a Core but you don't necessarily want two of either of these items so if a Viper for example built a Mekansm then you as Witch Doctor could perhaps skip it and go straight for Aghanims.

Pipe is also a situational on alot of supports and initiators as a "In case no one builds this, build it". Core - items needed for a hero to be impactful. For example, Sand King and Batrider are incredibly stronger with blink daggers. If it's the only item they get other than boots, they'll still be useful throughout the game. While Broodmother and Lycan have been disproportionately strong heroes at all levels of casual play, Broodmother got a very modest nerf to Agility gain while Lycan was actually buffed.

This is something of a surprising move by Valve, but likely has roots in the esports scene. Though both heroes are forces in pub play, the recently completed EPIC League saw both go very lightly used. The hero changes were big, but arguably the biggest changes of all came to the items.

Alongside Aghanim Shards, 11 new items were added alongside three new neutral items. Helm of the Dominator can now be upgraded to level two, similar to items like Necronomicon or Dagon. Upgrading Helm of the Dominator calls for an Ultimate Orb and 1, gold recipe, making it a much stronger late-game option. Alongside that is the extra ability to control ancient creeps and improved bonus stats for controlled units.

It also comes with much stronger stats for the late game. Most interestingly, Blink Dagger can now be upgraded into one of three items with a recipe and either Eaglesong, Mystic Staff, or Reaver. Believe it or not, this is just the tip of the iceberg with these patch notes.
