Quinn is viable as a bruiser, based on my experience. If you take a look at the Recommended build when playing her in Twisted Treeline, the build is based around bruisers. Before Quinn's release, there was little conflict about Quinn's role. Because her ultimate changes her to melee form, which is quite odd for an AD Carry, this opened up a possibility of her being a bruiser.

I can see from the comments some can confuse the difference between a top laner and a bruiser. Any champ, with a few exceptions, can be a top laner. Acting as a bruiser is totally different, as, depending on the champ, can really hinder the champion's ability to shine in the game.
