What do you mean by "stand on her own"? In many regards Fiora has always been a strong champion, potentially able to out-dps just about anybody. The issue is how one-note of a champion she is, making her severely vulnerable to cc, easy to counter, squishy and, with both being melee with no cc of her own or escape tools, high-risk low-reward against competent teams. All she really does is hit a lot and hit hard. New items alone wont change that. If you have a well composed well played team you can succeed with Fiora, but you will rely on teamwork, at least on higher levels of competitive play.

On a side note, she can make good use of the Hydra, in fact i'd say she's currently the only champion to which the Hydra actually goes beyond being a cool gimmick, but Muramana and Fist are pretty terrible choices for her. Mallet is still core and the new Cleaver, for however long it lasts, is excellent.
