The problem here arises with your belief that, "Because W is an ability and makes up the majority of her damage, she HAS to be an AD caster." It's not an ability - at least not in the traditional sense. Would you call and  AP casters, and  and hybrid caster? If you wouldn't (and I sure hope so) then you have a double standard.

is a (very very very powerful) on-hit and on-ability effect. Ergo, it is both an incentive to build attack speed AND cooldown reduction. Why is she still a bruiser? The only traditional ability she has that procs it is her Q. Her E is an enhanced autoattack, which doesn't tend to favour either bruisers or AD casters in terms of distribution (compare and  to  and ). The fact that it's such a core component of her damage output cements her status as an autoattacker.

In terms of raw damage output attack speed wins all day long. CDR just means she has access to burst damage more often, which is debatably more useful for an easily-kited champion like her.
