(I've commented before, but it seems to have been deleted)

I tried her AD, but it mainly works if you play tanky-AD/offtank. Her ulti will deal a great amount of damage and her W would be your main damage tool (works well with Trinity Force, since Kata has nice base AD), however, your early game will be weaker since you can't deal great damage from afar using Bouncing Blades - and your W forces you to stand closer to minions/enemies.

Building her hybrid is nice and seems to be the best choice if you want to focus on dealing Tons of Damage™ with your ultimate (double scaling). I'm still testing out what items to build after Gunblade.

An advantage of hybrid over AD is that you can start with AP which allows you to still poke enemies with Q from afar.
