I wouldn't consider boots + pots obvious as a starting set. You're paying 350g for +25 MS. That could be Armor, MR, or AS. Kayle can even get away with a Doran's start, because of her range and her sustain. Don't forget that Utility gives you Greed and the biscuit, and Crystalline Flask exists for your sustain needs now.

Even though AS is more expensive now (it was always underpriced, and it boggled my mind why it took Riot so long to notice this), it's still the best way to itemize for damage on Kayle in my opinion, because it amps up her steroid. Health is important is you need to prevent yourself from getting bursted down, so it depends on the kind of matchup you are facing, since Intervention is very good anti-burst.
