Doran's Shield is basically really never a good item for any champion, if you want to stay in lane longer and have more survivability against phys damage dealers then go for cloth armor and 5 HP pots. It would take you more than 10 minutes to restore the same amount of health as the health potions would over the course of 1 1/2~ minutes. AD trist should be starting with either Doran's Blade for the damage for harassment, health to survive burst, and some lifesteal to help her stay in lane (not really noticeable, but it does add up), boots+3 pots which should be the default item choice for Trists going mid for the mobility, upgrade path, and potions for regeneration, or, as I mentioned above, cloth+5 hp pots for the obvious damage mitigation and health regeneration.
