The reason this works on Teemo (and Koggy) is that they already have a built in on-hit effect. It's one more on-hit effect for your mpen to affect. Because while, yes, crits will end up doing more damage in the end, Teemo can have a Wit's End and Malady by the time you have your IE. He has more damage and more AS for the trouble. It's a build that does more damage midgame instead of lategame. Your Sorc Shoes and Malady will be helping not just the Malady and Wit's End damage, but also your toxic shot (and blind dart, I suppose, but that's more utility than anything else). Teemo also gets more from the (admittedly small amount of) AP the build gives him, given it increases his damage per shot. Teemo with Wit's End, Malady, and Level 5 Toxic Shot has a bunch of AS and does about 100 extra magic damage on top of his attack, where Trist is missing 34 of that.

Besides. Your q kinda goes to waste when you get Wit's End, Malady, and MBR. You'd go over the 2.5 AS cap, I'm fairly certain.

Not to say it's a *bad* build, but I just don't think she has as much synergy as Teemo and Koggy do.
