Hybrid damage output is not a very good idea, it's very hard to balance. If she dealt physical damage scaling with AP, that'd be interesting, but magic damage is stronger than physical damage (champions have less MR than Armour, jungle deals physical damage, Armour items are generally better than MR, not to mention Void Staff is SO MUCH BETTER than whatever comes out of LW), so it wouldn't make a lot of sense to make her scale off of AP and deal physical damage. If she built AD nad dealt magic damage, it would become a problem since she can AA to deal physical damage, and use hr ablitites for magic damage, giving her crazy amounts of both magic and physical damage and making it very hard to itmize against her and thereore balance her. So, yeah, I don't think it's a good idea, it's already hard enough to balance all those Devourer junglers with all their magic on-hit damage.
