While she does take awhile her powerspike is massive...problem is the time she takes to scale is that of a hypercarry, while her late-game doesn't match that due to the massive Q CD. Even with the CD mechanic reduction, you're still looking at 5-6 seconds of a massive DPS drop, due to her low base AS, which can spell doom in a teamfight. While CDR does seem apealling in such a case, ADC itemization for CDR is awkward at best, especially for Trist since she isn't a caster even with the new E. If they made her Q CD match that of her E or her W at max rank, you could actually fully reset it with the double CDR reduction, provided you keep hitting something. Funny you mention Sivir, since i've never have problems in lane against her and i outscale her, so it's pretty much a free lane for me. Also her lane phase damage is actually very potent, especially since the recent E buffs. Problem is that the setup for that max damage is hard to get. Try to push the enemy laners into their turret and use E on it...the AOE is bigger, thus your almost guaranted to get the burst off one of them or even both.
