Rushed IE on top lane is kind of underwhelming to me. It works well in bot lane because you have someone to protect/sustain you, but top lane is an island where the only help you get is from your jungler and/or mid lane, if they are available.

For the 3830g that you spend on an IE, I can have my Berserker's upgrade, double Doran's, Zeal, and ~1100g left over for arts and crafts. Putting IE on a naked level 11 Kayle with boots 1 (assuming AD runes) basically boosts her raw DPS to 210/49 physical/magical.

The same naked Kayle with zerk's, Zeal, and double Doran's (assuming AS/lifesteal marks/quints) has a raw DPS of 142/72 physical magical. Throw in a Pickaxe with some of the extra dough, it's 175/72. Throw a Vamp Scepter to IE Kayle, that lets us give BF Sword to Zeal Kayle instead, which boosts the number to 201/72.

Note that the last bit there is the tipping point where IE Kayle loses flat-out for DPS, because of the double effect of AS on both her AD autos and her Righteous Fury. On top of also losing +160 HP, and 8% bonus MS.
