No not really. AD Kat would be possible if there was an item which gave mass amounts of everything she wants. But no, Crit from IE, or Attack speed from BotRK are not good stats to buy on her and are almost useless.

Your best bet is to have a large amount of flat AD combined with tankiness. Maw of Malmortius, Mercurial Scimitar (it's the only BF item she can buy), a Sword of the Occult if you're feeling brave, or a Ravenous Hydra (although the lifesteal isn't very good).

The main thing is to not die so prioritizing tankiness is your main focus. Warmog's, etc.

The reason it's not played is that her Q is now pretty useless.
