When you're playing hybrid Kayle, you should be using a Fiendish Codex (builds into Nashor's) or stacking Doran's Rings for sustain. Catalyst is overkill on top of that.

While the GA doesn't provide any offense, the RoA is also only giving +60-80 AP. If you're insistent upon overpaying for stats, you might as well get a Rylai's instead of a RoA. It gives the same AP, a bit less health (up to -130 if fully grown), but at least gives you a passive slow effect that is splashed around by Righteous Fury.

An alternative offensive/defensive hybrid item would be to add an on-hit item to your build, like Wit's (MR/AS), Ionic (health/AS), or Madred's (Armor/AD/AS).
