Think of AD Sona as like a mix of Corki and Ashe. You scale really well with Trinity Force and can duel really well with it. At the same time, your kit has a lot of utility and can be used to help your team make big plays. Also, your earlygame is really strong and you can usually outtrade most other carries in an autoattack fight, and last hitting is very easy. Furthermore, you can have almost any champion as your support because of your heal (though you have to be VERY careful with mana management). Your best support is Blitzcrank though, because one stun at level 6 is a completely guaranteed kill.

Trinity Force typically should be your first major item, because it adds the most to your earlygame. Sona has an easy time procing it, making her a good duelist. The mana and health are also good stats on her, because she's relatively lacking in those with an AD oriented build.

After that, Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer, and Bloodthirster are the prefered items. And then get either a Banshees or a GA for defenses. Last Whisper can replace one of your other offensive items if they stack too much armor, although I'd try to avoid it.
