Heheheh, I've done full-AD leo many-a-time.

The ticket is to realize that Muramana procs TWICE on your Q, and that Q acts as an autoattack reset, allowing for 4 muramana procs in about 1 second. Combine this with more items-Infinity Edge, Ravenous Hydra, Last Whisper, Trinity Force, etc.-you can easily assasinate a squishy without any retaliation for 2.75 seconds(the hard CC duration from ult+Q); the problem is that you are so squishy yourself, so teamfights and non-isolated targets are hell to deal with.

For this reason, I find that the most potent and viable toplane build for leona is Muramana, Iceborn Gauntlet, Warmog's Armor, Banshee's Veil, and 2 situational items, depending on whether you need more damage or tank.

In regards to her being able to proc her own passive, it would mean that you'd have to tone down some numbers; she'd become more viable in other lanes, but less viable in botlane. To balance it out, ally-interaction would probably be the most viable option to rework her. Anyways, I digress, but personally, I think that Leo is in a decent place, and that a small buff, perhaps being able to proc her own passive for half damage. would allow her to become a great solo laner, as opposed to a decent one.
