IE is rushed on any champion who's damage is primarily based on autoattacks. Look at her scalings. She has no ad scalings. BT gives you 30 more AD than IE, yes (when stacked), but IE has been calculated to be the highest auto attack dps increasing item in the game, and BT is only good when you have abilities to augment your damage. Considering her massive attack speed steroid, she can take even better advantage of the crit. More autoattacks=more crits.

You could get BotRK, but the item doesn't increase your damage to anyone much early and mid game unless they have Mundo, which is still only one champion. As a matter of fact, you need the enemy to have 3000 or more health for your average damage with BotRK to be higher than with a BT, and we already know that IE gives higher DPS than BT, so those are basically your options.
