All I know is, most of what I've heard about building items is to primarily enhance your strengths, and play around your weaknesses.

Ergo, I would not care to build a Trinity Force when playing adc Tristana simply because it has AP I could possibly use which I wouldn't get otherwise. Would it give me other attractive stats and a decent active? Yes, however it would only shore up a naturally weak mid-game and then quickly get outscaled by other item choices, whereas I could have alternatively farmed until I were stronger and pursued more consistent items such as Infinity Edge/Phantom dancer.

Every champ has autoattacks (and on the other side of the coin, most champs have AP ratios on something) but if you try to build for the weaker side of things at the same time as the strong, it tends to be pretty unremarkable. If it works for you though, go for it, there's not much reason not to if that's the case
