AS is a trap? What Kayle are you looking at? AS is amazing on her and just makes her Righteous Fury (E) deal more damage in a team fight, play her and you'll see that. Pure AD Kayle is flawed because you're not taking advantage of the fact that she is a "hybrid" champion.

Her Righteous Fury (E) uses AD as a -base- damage unit, but it also benefits from AP in two ways- extra magic damage on contact and a splash effect that deals magic damage. With AP and AD you are actually doing more damage with this spell because you are using its full potential. Also, her Reckoning (Q) is a nuke that scales off of AP, making it a great fight initiator b/c of the slowing effect and with more AP you do even more initial damage. Also, her Divine Blessing (W). This is what makes Kayle great, she has a built in sustain tool. This heals her and its healing scales off of AP, so ignoring AP you are making this heal -much- less useful; because it can give you the winning edge in a 1v1 duel early game, or 1v3 duel late game because that combined with the Spell vamp/Life steal that my hybrid Kayle build gives you almost secures you coming out ahead in almost any duel.

Kayle isn't an ADC, so she shouldn't be played as one. She can be built like one, but so can any other champion, like Soraka- but I didn't see too many ADC Soraka's in the championship; and there's a reason for that, only ADC's should be built like ADCs. All of her spells (excluding ulti because thats just makes you immune to all damage, so there is no way to make it stronger with AD or AP) scale off of AP, and since you are going to be using all of her spells, you should be building items that will help those spells be more effective. What you're doing is the same as building an AP Draven, you are ignoring what skills her abilities scale with which makes them weaker and less effective.

This is all coming from a person who's second main champion is Kayle, so I've had some experiance with her- trust me.
