I'm not an Akali player but you can get cdr from runes, masteries etc and to be honest if you go more than 20% cdr on energy champs, you won't be so happy about it due to having 200 max energy at all levels. Sure each of them has a skill that gives energy but it has a cooldown too and it doesn't refund that much.

As for gunblade, for only 15 less ap, you get 45 ad = 7,5 % spellvamp, plus ad scales better on e, plus an extra ap ratio with 150 base dmg, plus a slow that doesn't need contact with the enemy (Akali's q with Rylai's has smaller range than the active and is not as reliable of a slow when ult is on cd). Only downside for me is the cost, but I still buy it when I play as Akali. I buy Rylai's too but it's mainly for the slow when in melee range and the hp that scale with w.

Despite all of the above, Wota is still a good choice for a champion like her. My two cents (*^*)
