You give up a lot of early lane power by rushing a HoG. It has no offensive stats, and Kayle is not a passive farming champion. You'd be better off geting double Doran's Blades instead, and using it to press your advantage.

Trinity Force is not a great item on Kayle. She's not able to consistently activate the passive efect, because of the way that she uses her skills, and their cooldowns. It's alright, but it's super- expensive and the AP is "whatever".

I prefer to build Kayle as a secondary AD carry if I'm going to DPS, aka PD/IE/BT/LW, so that you can take advantage of triple multiplicative scaling and really do some damage. If my team needs a tanky DPS, there are better champions for that than Kayle. She has no threat if she is not doing damage, she isn't like J4 or WW.
