It would justify buffs, but personally, I don't think she needs any. Obviously there would need to be a replacement item for DFG(assuming you're building DFG, Hourglass, and Rabadon's currently) which I speculate will be Hextech Gunblade, Rylai's, or Lich Bane. I did the math on Hextech Gunblade and it lets your ult do more damage than an item that would give 120 AP. Of course there isn't an item that ONLY gives 120 AP but Gunblade does have a scaling active.

TL;DR Lich Bane, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, or Hextech Gunblade will replace DFG.
