So, I may have dumped on Devourer Diana earlier, but after trying it in the jungle (I don't like runeglaive) I think I may be convinced.

Stacking devourer on Diana, especially with a Triforce allows Diana to not only get a ton of free damage from devourer, her passive, and spellblade, but allows her to have a more flexible buildpath otherwise. If you're ahead/hard carrying, grabbing some defensive AP items works because of your scalings, items like Abyssal, Zhonya's, RoA, Nashor's etc, while otherwise, more defensive options like Wits End, Frozen Heart, Banshee's etc give her the tankyness to use the crazy amounts of attack speed she gets.

The MS passive from Triforce, coupled with her Q/R gives her a lot of sticking power, while her E let's he stack on enemies once she's on top of them. Her passive procs every other hit, giving her a solid AoE 80% ratio every other hit, plus the other on-hit magic damage she gets, and Triforce procing frequently for her. It relies on base damage, and she doesn't have the burst power she would otherwise, but she can duel most champions (I solo'd a decently fed Yasuo). Diana already has decent base damage on her abilities, and it's not hard to pick up AP in the build either.

That said, I think it only works because of devourer, and lane Diana should probably stick with her assassin buildpath.
