Has anyone tried BotRK > Runaan's on Tristana? I'm going to try it next time I play, bc I think there's a lot of potential.

The cutlass is a good first buy: its active will improve her killing potential in lane and lifesteal is great for later laning when you can't keep jumping onto the enemy. It's easier to build as a first item than BFS and is more useful.

BotRK + Runaan's are 5600g total (compare with IE + PD = 6600), and with a maxed Q Trist's attack speed will already be ~2.4, so she'll be ready for team fights sooner.

Team fights should be great. BotRK's active lets you peel for yourself. You won't have as much single-target burst as with a traditional build, but your sustained damage with lifesteal should be ridic in long fights, and isn't that the point of an ADC? It will probably help to have an assassin on your team for cleanup (BotRK is best for starting fights after all) and to encourage the enemy to stack health.
