Just yesterday I had a game where I picked LeBlanc, and I think I like my build pattern:

Philo components (obviously completing first time you back), Boots (building into Sorc), Ruby Crystal (to RoA), Morellonomicon, situational item, Rabadon's, situational item.

The thing is, if you don't get max CDR on LeBlanc, you can't chain your CC off very well, and Morellonomicon lets you negate the healing that most enemies have while also giving you a decent amount of AP. Those situational items tend to be Abyssal Scepter/Zhonya's Hourglass to round out LeBlanc's defenses.

Playing LeBlanc comes down to these things more often than not: Did you do the right moves? In the right order? At the right time? Against the right person? In the right place? You really do have to know who you're fighting against. My favorite is QWE, walking away or popping back while the chain snares them, then I Q, wait a little bit, R, and W again. That sequence kites a lot of champions, while drawing out a fight in a way people don't expect of LeBlanc. It also lets you get another Q and W off on them without truly risking your hide. She's an immensely powerful caster, but even with my slightly tanky build she's still not up to par with bruisers (she'll still hit like a brick)
