Btrk is a very good item on its own (it doesn't need other items to deal considerable damage). Tristana has an AS(attack speed) steroid to make this item much more worth, because AS steroids don't have huge impact early-mid game unless they do some % health procs.

BTRK does not scale so well as BT with the rest of the ADC items (doesn't scale with crit nor AD(attack damage)). However, it gives tristana a greater power spike as a single item at her weakest point in the game (entering mid game, because she has no AOE and her abilities don't scale with ad).

Tristana is the adc that has the greatest synergy with IE. This is because the three main ADC stats (AD, AS and Crit chance) scale multiplicatively(as you stack one stacking the other provides greater damage).

The damage you deal is roughly AD*AS(Attacks per second)*(1+critical chance%/100).

Since tristana already has a lot of AS from her Q, if you get IE (critical chance, AD and boost to critical damage) you achieve a lot of damage from your auto attacks.
