Riot really nerfed her old core build. I used to go mallet, wit's end, atma's as core. Then they nerfed her burnout and her armor and MR from her ult. Then they nerfed atma's damage, then they nerfed the cost of wit's end. That build just seems too expensive for what you get now. It does ok late game but takes too long to get going. I have been playing around with numbers and am settling on the following:

Boots-->HoG (turn into randuins later, likely after triforce)-->madreds razors (turn into MBR late game or if you really want wriggles you can get it)-->Phage (turn into triforce after aegis)-->Aegis-->finish triforce, randuins, MBR in whatever order you see fit-->Situational 6th item, you can go damage with BT or Maw or grab a GA.

Mid game core:

Boots, HoG, madred's razors, phage/triforce, Aegis. Note: I like Aegis before triforce.

6 item build: Boots, Randuins, MBR, Triforce, Aegis, BT/Maw/Atma's/GA.

Basically frozen impaler just took to long to get going and this new build I am using seems to give what you need when you need it. Aegis makes you more tanky than mallet and helps your team mates more. Triforce gives shy pretty much everything she needs in one slot (except mana of course).
