Interesting, I don't see a lot of people go for mixes over getting the last mastery (which arguably is very strong and often worth it). VIgor (health regeneration) of all things caught my eye - I've always wanted to find a champion to make use of this but to no avail.

I don't underestimate the offense route, but to really make use of it means getting large amounts of AP fast. This is basically putting all her eggs onto the late game, although it can be argued that the small AP gain per level is helpful - I just don't see it as useful as Utility. Then again I'm more of a 'damage doesn't mean everything' kind of guy.
