I feel it's less correct to say you build her AD, and more correct to say you put certain AD items on her since AP does scale better into the late game. But despite her damage sources being aoe, I find gunblade to still work well on her. And it still has a 250 damage burst attached to it. And edge of night is for getting in. Popping hourglass puts you out of comission while using it, but edge of night can let you get an ability off before having to retreat or use hourglass.

Those are pretty much it, though. Trinity force works due to E letting you immediately auto, but the cdr doesn't suit her playstyle well unless you change it by building more bruisery. Which you can do, but you're changing her role at that point - although I do recommend making her more reliable over more bursty - which implies some durability.

Unless you've got a coordinated team in which case, glass cannons work fine.
