If we're going to include Killer Instinct in her old damage per second, lets include Sinister Steel and the Bouncing Blade mark in her current damage per second (given they are replacing the current skill):

New per second: 400 (+1.75 per bonus attack damage) (+1.05 per ability power) +37.5 (+0.1 per ability power) (mark)

Old per second: 326 (+1.6 per bonus attack damage)  (+0.83 per ability power)

Damage lost: 165 (+1.5 per bonus attack damage)  (+0.2 per ability power)

Quite the nerf to her AD, but excluding that she hasn't even lost half a second's worth of damage... and she does it in 2 seconds now instead of 3. So she does 2.5 seconds worth of damage in 2 seconds... and got a massive buff to her early game.

Also, the combined W+E does far more damage than her old W+E:

New: 360 (+0.85 per ability power) (+0.5 per bonus attack damage) + 75 (+0.2 per ability power) Bouncing Blade mark

Old: 264 (+0.75 per ability power)

(I listed the mark separately as it isn't completely automatic, you have to use Q first).

In the PBE her W+E had a lower AP ratio; Shunpo was 0.3 I believe, but it has been buffed to 0.5 for release and so combined with the ratio now trumps her current Shunpo alone while previously it didn't.
