The current fad is to build Frozen Mallet or Warmogs plus Atmas on basically every single Tanky DPS so that's mostly what you're going to see everywhere. Before she got nerfed way back when I use to run Triforce constantly and did really well with her. After the nerfs I haven't used her as much but, when I do, I don't tend to play well using that same strategy.

Ultimately it comes down to what works for you and if you're having fun. There are too many item build elitists in this game that feel like their calling in life is to tell everyone how to build their champ just because their favorite "pro" builds a certain way. Just ignore them.
