Well Trist is a hypercarry, so it's normal that you melt face with autoattacks lategame.

Overall, your build isn't a bad idea, you focus on a hyper-synergy with your AS boost; but this malformed hybrid between crit chance and on-hit has obvious weaknesses: no armor peneration, no sustain (so the opponents get 1 thornmail and you kill yourself with your own autoattacks), and no damage before AS (ionic spark triggers every 4 attacks, so it effectively gives you 28 AD, not much to synergise with). Your build isn't complete utter crap as long as you are aware that it can be countered if you aren't ready to change it depending on what the opponent is building.

My main issue with your build is that you have no sustain and you don't build any damage before getting your attack speed: No lifestreal means that you can't duel anyone since you are so squishy and AS withought damage is useless, so at least build the IE (or at least a BF glaive) after (or before) the ionic spark; you'll see that you'll have an easier time. You could also replace IE with a BT if you are buying so much AS; the double phantom dancers gives you decent crit chance, and combined with runes you might realise that your survivability increases substancially compared to the slight damage drop.

Furthermore, Tristana can afford to build damage without much AD, since her Q gives her 90% AS for free.

I agree with the choice of ghost+ignite, since Trist has an in-built flash already.

Try going in the same direction, but take a step back and reconsider some things. Critical chance without AD is not cost-efficient, so try replacing IE by BT, adn/or your two phantom dancers by something else, like a Black Cleaver, Madred's bloodrazor (MBR is only cost efficient against enemies with lots of HP), Malady to synergise with your spells and Ionic Spark or a Wit's End maybe (but Wit's End should be considered as a MR item more than magic damage item).
