I reccomend rushing the Hextech Gunblade on Akali, getting the vamp scepter then the Revolver, then finishing it. After that rush the Deathcap, and after the Deathcap rush Rylai's Crystal Scepter.

Honestly, DFG isn't "needed" on Akali, her core is the Gunblade (Lifesteal, Spellvamp both OP on her), Rabadon's Deathcap (AP is OP on her), and Rylai's Crystal Scepter (the HP bonus makes her unkillable if you're a good Akali player, and the slow proc on her Q and Ulti make chases nothing).

So after you get those 3 items (plus Sorc shoes of course :P) then feel free to get the DFG, but I would suggest going defensive after those 3 itmes like Zhonya's Hourglass, Abyssal Scepter, Guardian Angel, and other items to counter the enemy team's damage. :)
