^ I am not a fan of Wriggles on Kayle. It only has semi-synergy with her, since Kayle is built ADC, not bruiser (so the Armor is somewhat dubious). Also, she doesn't have extra chances to proc the minion damage with her abilities, like Shyvana/GP/Ezreal/Renekton/etc all do.

Basically you buy it for the AD, the lifesteal, and the ward. So what I do instead, is get Vamp quints, and buy double Doran's Blades. This gives 15% lifesteal when combined with lifesteal from the Offense tree, and that's enough to sustain basically forever. It has only slightly less AD than Wriggles, and 160 HP instead of 30 Armor. Most importantly: it costs 650g less than a Lantern. This is money you can put towards an Oracle's, or the rest of your ADC build (Zeal, IE, Zerk's, whatever). Late game I replace it with a proper lifesteal item like Zeke's or a BT.

You lose some objective control, and free wards. But you can buy a GP/10 item to replace the wards (gold generated by a Philo pays for same number of wards as Lantern gives you), and you should have a tanky top lane to help with objectives (if you don't, you shouldn't be playing jungle Kayle).

But Wriggles is OK. It's a decent item, not a noob trap or anything.
