Tristana received a lot of hidden nerfs lately. The best build on her involved starting with 31 armor pentration and building black cleaver with support possibly getting starks. With this build she could reach 96 flat armor reduction. This become less and less viable when these changes happened:

-percentage armor reduction in new masteries (its usually better to go full AD marks and quints because of that for last hitting and you still have some armor penetration)

-dragon and baron are now immune to shred (so less baron/dragon control with black cleaver than with last whisper)

-stark's reworked and no longer has armor shred aura

So the only option now is to build Tristana the standard AD carry build (IE+PD+BT+LW) - this is boring as hell and doesn't synergize very well with her attack speed steroid like black cleaver did. I wonder why Riot nerfs viable alternative builds in favor of the more mainstream ones?
