I don't recall ever saying one should build damage. I would go full tank so she isn't wasted when she goes in on a fight. At most, I would build Triforce as a damage item, but my other 5 would be tank items no doubt (including defensive boots). Her base damages and resulting damage in a teamfight from her passive on aoe skills is enough comebined with the CC she provides.
