Okay yes you can max your W first to reduce the cooldown so you can deal with the wave however it is still a steep mana cost. Infact it is very similar to Fizz's E mana cost and Lb and Fizz share a high cost mana spell (though to be fair her mana pool is 50 +10 per level higher)

W still won't have strong wave clear properties. But it might be more viable she would need to start with a doran or some strong mana regen item.

Now you said assume 100 mr but all bruisers who have build one mr item and there are a lot of cheap MR items (not expensive high mr items). Bruisers who know they need mr  will likely have a maw, and runes. I can easily expect mr from 100 to 180 easily and that goes for all types of champions (though the adc and ap would be 100ish) SO the damage isn't fully accurate pen wise.

Still I can't completely complain and debate this because it depends on the game but I still think she isn't as strong as other champion alternatives. However she does perform strong ganks for snowballing other lanes.

I'll accept your reasoning for her being viable but the mr total you gave is very unrealistic except for carries. And only a dumb carry would have a base value mr late game when we have all the pen items.
