I appreciate your commitment to this Champion. Here's my 2 cents.

1) I would not go with a Sheen item on Kindred due to their low base AD. Especially IBG since they do not make use of tanky stats, they don't need mana items, they don't particularly thrive on CDR, and last but not least they do not benefit from the slow like, at all. They already have all the stickyness they could wish for. Triforce could be ok, but I believe it's a huge waste of gold.

2) You're making a mistake by ignoring Armor Penetration in your builds. It is by far the stat they scale the hardest off, due to her passive and her E being %health PHYSICAL damage. I hardly recommend trying some games where you rush Youmuu's Ghostblade, which I believe it's the single best item for Kindred. It gives them all they need: a huge chunk of AD, 20 flat armor pen (which is a lot, especially early on), and a very good active. Other items to consider are Black Cleaver (if you really want CDR) and Lord Dominik's Regards.

3) Ignore crit. Just, do it. Build her like you'd build, idk, Pantheon. The only exceptions for this would either be Runaan's Hurricane due to how well it synergizes with her passive (but, as I said above, you need to back it up with Armor Penetration), and Rapidfire Cannon, which I haven't tried yet, but I imagine the extra burst could make her much scarier early.
