"At least on champions like Graves you can commit to full-AD; on Ezreal and Corki you can go for a Trinity/Infinity build. But champions who primarily autoattack... what is optimal on them?"

Generally speaking:

Early Vampiric Scepter. Leave it there. Oh, and Zerks obviously.

Rush IE as it gives the most auto-attack DPS of any item.

Zeal upgrade - either PD or Shiv. Trinity is generally a poor choice on pure autoattackers. Another option is leaving it at Zeal for now and upgrading later.

Last Whisper. There are three ADCs that shouldn't buy this - Vayne, Corki and Kog'Maw. On all the others, it's the most effective damage item against enemies that have bought any armor.

Defensive choice. Yes, ADCs get less defenses than anyone else but your DPS is significantly reduced by being dead so getting one is generally regarded as wise. Randuin's is the best against high-AD teams (as well as generally, what with ADCs being the highest damagers late-game), Banshee's if they've a threatening AP or some other reason to want the spell shield, GA only if they've a mix of physical and magic damage and both are threatening.

Finally, finish BotRK if they've stacked health or BT if not.

I've somewhat oversimplified things, particularly the BotRK/BT dynamic, but yeah, as a general cookie-cutter build for ADCs that mostly use autos and rarely use abilities, that's a fairly solid choice.
