Gunblade is NOT good on Katarina, because three of her four abilities are considered AOE, which reduces the Spellvamp by two thirds. Even Katarina's Bouncing Blades are aoe. The only spell you get full spellvamp from is shunpo, and if you misuse that, well you're vulnerable for a while. You can seriously heal up so much more just from health pots than with Spellvamp. The only way Gunblade might be good on Kat is if it was a last item on your already complete Glass Cannon build, that way the active on Gunblade would do tons of damage, especially if used with DFG. Sorc Boots, DFG, Hourglass, Rabadon's, Void Staff is the way to go. Gunblade to complete that would be really nice, but ideally Kat's that are smart and know what they're doing would get GA or something.
