Or you can build AP and do 250ish dmg per bullet, so 2000 damage over the duration in AoE damage, and since you obviously are going to have magic penetration (duh, you're building AP), likely dealing True Damage (or close to it, sometime even increased damage, if your tank is smart enough to get an abyssal scepter), you can pretty much guarantee yourself at LEAST a double kill.

As it stands, MF's ult is garbage for physical MF. You can usually do more damage in a team fight with double up and auto attacks. If you think about it, getting no survivability or boots, you can only get 600 AD with a Bloodthirster stack, which equates to only 240 bonus damage per bullet. But unlike AP, you won't have the penetration needed to make that 240 bonus damage matter. Effectively, it will deal 175ish per wave, as 100 MR is hardly difficult to reach, and anyone with half a brain will have at least that. 175 per wave = 1400 magic damage. all of about 2 auto attacks. at 1.0 AS, that already covers the damage completely of the ultimate to a single target, not counting the use of double up. While you can count on dealing damage to more targets with her ult, it requires you to channel, making you stationary. Also, it's easy to avoid, as it doesn't apply any on hit effectgs (whereas AP MF gets Rylai's, allowing you to slow enemies that take damage from your Make it Rain even more than normal, as well as allowing your Bullet Time to have a slow effect, keeping targets in the area for longer).

And the less like a glass cannon that you build MF, the worse AD scales with her ultimate, whereas you can build tanky, and still build AP, with items such as Rylai's Scepter, the hourglass and Abyssal Scepter, should your tank refuse to purchase one.
