I know the discussion from the old Katarina, but the situation changed with her new kit.

Its true that AD costs double as much as AP, but her AD ratios are even more than doubled. 0,6 AD > 2x 0,25 AP. 3 AD is slightly less than 2x 1,75 AP.

The secondary effects on AP items are largely useless for Kat also, since she doesnt need mana, mana regeneration or cooldown-reduction, which excludes 80% of all AP items. Another strange thing you said was that AP items gives nice secondary effects like MPen, which is only one item: Haunting Guise. And it sucks, because its way too expensive for that and Sorcer Boots mostly cut it. You wont kill tanks anyway.

Even if you say she doesnt need ArPen, so Brutalizer still gives good AD for that price.

Beside that, there are some nice AD items without useless side effects, like Dorans Blade, Phage, Hexdrinker, Bloodthirster (gold per AD is still better than other items, so screw that lifesteal) or Hybrid items which give both, like Guinsoo and Hextech.
