She is waaaaay to squishy to be reliable in fights when she builds large amounts of ap, and she already has huge amounts of damage from her abilities on very short cooldowns. Think of her as a magic damage dealing lee sin. Lee also has fantastic scalings but needs to build tanky to survive, so most of his damage comes from short cooldown combos and ability enhanced dps, like elise. Both are also picked not for their late game damage, but for their early game ganks. Also, because much of her damage is percent based, you will never 100-0 someone, so you need to be tanky enough to stick around and wear them down.
