There is nothing about GP that makes him want AS.

His passive only activates over time or when you shoot a Barrel, you no longer have to get into a fight to just auto and hope for a crit thanks to barrels and you don't even need to build AS anymore because you lack an AS Steroid.

AD, Armor Pen. and Critical Chance are the only stats that really enable Gankplank to do his job and that his put a trap of barrels, shoot them, explode them and then cut the enemy team off with a well placed Ultimate.

AS and general tank items for GP do jack for him unless you buy a LW, which I think stacks additively with his barrels, in which case, yeah, go TriForce, IE, LW and then build full tank.
