First and foremost, granting her a resource isn't bad, it actually limits her beyond just increasing cooldowns, but achieves nothing but to "Empower" her, with such empowerment achieveving pretty much the exact same things but with sightly higher numbers (Like it happens on your W), which doesn't make much of a difference.

And I read the comments above, you shouldn't say that E's shield is weaker, when is the same scale as the current one plus 10% of her max. health, but sincerely that's the only buff she got from this rework attempt.

If you so much wanted to give her importance to the empowerments you implemented, you could have made Blade of the Exile a component of her innate passive, and making Wind Slash; rather than wasting the ult on what it currently stands on this rework. And, if for empowerments comes to be, making her Q knock people should be good (In contrast to the CC-less Q of you proposal).

And you gutted away her AD Steroid and her second ult, and saying enough.
