Kat should have the Ludens Echo first because it's still viable for her and her Q nukes like hell when you poke with it. Then you should beeline for Rabadons but DO make sure to get either the Negatron cloak or the Seeker's Armguard first depending on who you're laning against. If you are getting poked by AD or AP and it's difficult to lane, finish your Abyssal Scepter or Zhonyas Hourglass BEFORE Rabadons.

As a Katarina main, I really don't think you should get Gunblade unless it is your final item with nothing else that is better.

Usually the best final build would be Rabadons Deathcap, Ludens Echo, Void Staff, Abyssal Scepter, Zhonyas Hourglass and Sorcerors Shoes. It gives you some nice defences and you retain the power to nuke their ADC with your Q, E, W combo :P
