I'm pretty sure that the reason Riot nerfed her shield duration is because of the possibility of her sneaking in that third role as Bruiser. They did not want that, as making her durable enough to be a bruiser augmented her other roles far too much. Can she bE built that way? Sure, just like Lulu can be an ADC and Rengar can be support. Doesn't mean that's what they were intended for, but LOL is about diversity and strategies. Every champ should also build some resistances so they don't get insta-nuked (her shield notwithstanding). Every item that isn't AD, though, also significantly lowers your ability to fight/assassinate. So be careful. That full AD comp was a rare opportunity to try it out, but don't hope to do that very often.
