guinsoo's great, but her play style isn't auto attack focused, though she can transition into it due to high inherent AS/lvl.

Which is why I go jungle - where you can benefit from having scaling runes instead of flats - Devourer, gunblade, ninja tabi, spirit visage (you could go maw, but the lifesteal is wasted, and spell vamp redundant, + 20% more healing when you've got like 50% spell vamp is pretty nice) Rabadon's. I actually end with titanic hydra, if you went with maw over spirit, guinsoo's probably better, though 2k health is going to get you killed. Thornmail is actually something to also consider: Gunblade will heal for the damage (though it seems to be considered aoe), and all the health you heal will be considered another avenue for them to hurt themselves. If you double down on on-hits and go both hydra and devourer, the on-hit from just her passive lies around 220 per hit.

220 + 60 + 30 + 80 + 300 AD every 1.78 seconds, with double hit procs is why she can auto attack and function as a fighter. Just actually build defensive items. You're not going to be auto attacking if you're dead.
