The fact that she "needs" rend's damage to compete with other champions doesn't mean it's balanced....

Anyway, rend's design is kinda silly on a damage focussed champion. You're essentially giving her 32+30%AD bonus damage/AA. That on its own would probably already be enough to make her a threat even without any offensive items whatsoever.. now combine it with the usual carry items and you get a skill that does an obscene amount of damage, and that's just 1 tiny part of her kit....
