It's actually not a new idea. The comet Ashe was allready played in combination with Xerath a while back, because poke lanes on botlane were strong to that time. It's still viable of course and honestly that's what I love about the new rune System: It adds flexibility to the very role that tends to build the exact same itembuild in every game - with very few exceptions. And it also influences the item build, not only the runes.

The Comet - Poke build is only one Options you can do. There is also the Lethal Tempo Ashe, that wants to rush Inf Edge and two Zeal items to dish out ridiculous amounts of DPS via her AA's and Q. Or the Fleet Footwork Ashe that just wants to kite and survive, often paired with a BotrK. Comet Ashe definitly is a Rune build I would strengthen with the CDR build (Essence Reaver into crit) to keep spamming and having up Ult as often as possible.

But saying that Ashe "should" take Comet over anything else isn't quite true, it's situational just as everything else. Personally I would take Comet and go the CDR build in games where I don't have a proper frontline that allows be to autoattack the enemies for a longer period of time and I just want to initiate with my ult. In games where you do have a frontline however and are able to constantly AA the enemies without them being able to respond (if they have lots of tanks or not enough range to kill you or your frontline is simply to oppressive) it kinda would be a waste to ignore the damage she can dish out with her AA's and proper runes.

So yea, situational. As everything else.
