That's hardly a merge of the two, and neither is it a hybrid item. It's just an item for AP/AS champions. You don't itemize for crit on hybrids.

I think the problem is that hybrids suffer from a lack of scaling items. Mages have Rabadon's and carries have Infinity Edge which both provide a straight multiplicative boost to damage output. Hybrids can't build these because they don't have enough AP/AD to make use of the passives, so their damage potential is capped.

Something like a watered down version of Kayle's old innate might work out well for a real good hybrid scaling item. It's fitting, as old Kayle happened to be a ludicrously strong lategame hybrid because of it.
