Each point of ability power adds more than one damage to her full rotation, much of it AOE. I don't understand how you're going from "This item doesn't give much ability power" to "This ability power is wasted".

Even aside from that, I don't understand how this "problem" isn't fixed by removing the AP from the sheen line of items (which, while a considerable change, is far less drastic than giving the entire game a new gimmick to deal with.)

I don't really agree with your premise of "bruisers are broken and can't possibly be balanced", so I can't really follow the proceeding argument.
