Grail is absolutely useless on LB. She's all about the burst, hence the need to rush AP items. It's not like you're going to 100-0 your mana just bursting someone.

Start with flask, then buy Dorans and Boots. The Dorans Ring passive coupled with flat / scaling mp5 t3 seals and your 9 points in your utility tree should be enough for you to return to lane after bursting someone.

People who go chalice just for the sake of mana for Leb isn't managing their mana pools well. Even if they argue that it's for the CDR = runes / masteries + blue buff + blue elixir should make up for all your CDR needs.
