Take a look here: http://www.probuilds.net/champions/Kalista

There are a few reasons why people are running the Runaan's path on her:

1. Runaan's Hurricane gives Kalista much more waveclear than Statikk Shiv ever will, due to her E being applied to all 3 targets.

2. Kalista with Runaan's Hurricane in the midgame can clear waves even faster than Sivir. Just wave in and out of a minion wave, attacking about 1-3 times, E, then attack 1-3 times again, then E, and the wave is gone.

3. Kalista's crit animation actually makes her auto-attacks slower. Thus, you can delay this handicap by going the Bloodthirster + Runaan's Hurricane + Statikk Shiv path.

4. Runaan's Hurricane has a special interaction with Statikk Shiv and lifesteal. Kalista will actually get more Shiv procs in a fight if she has Hurricane. Also, with Bloodthirster, she can heal up to full health very quickly.

5. With Hurricane, Kalista can E and slow more than one target in a much faster span of time than auto-attacking each target individually. Thus, it drastically increases her AoE damage, making her very potent in teamfighting.

6. The majority of Kalista's damage comes from her W passive (requiring her soulbound to attack with her) and her E execute. Kalista is not a straight duelist and was not meant to be. She works best in 2v2-5v5 skirmishes, not 1v1 duels, unless of course she is fighting a kitable bruiser. Crit is not THAT important on her.

7. If all of this does not convince you, just watch C9 Sneaky's stream. Frequently, he's been running Runaan's Hurricane on Kalista. Overall, statistics are showing that pros are heavily favoring Runaan's on her.
