Sorry for the late post, caught up in life and school.

Think about how YOU want to play Evelynn. There have even been tank Evelynn players that supposedly performed very well (they did not provide context).

Burst, Sustained

Tankiness, Active Ability Items.

These are the axis you work with. The items Like DFG take away from your ability to attack in melee range, making a DPS build a very niche choice in a serious setting. Experiment with DPS if you want a challenge. You will buy items like Lich Bane or Rabadon's. The only real DPS items out there are AD, aside from Lich Bane or Malady. Since Evelynn is melee, she is not tanky enough to make a viable build with both of them unless your enemy literally lets you farm for 15min. You will just die before nabbing a kill. There is another approach, a risky one. Build Rabadon's, then Lich Bane. This build is used to pwn people early on, but keep in mind that Old Eve used this. Stealth is not the same.

Burst is simple. Buy stuff, press buttons.

Tankiness - RoA early on lets you get through rough early lanes.

Misc - Kage's lets you get some early power that pays for itself later on.
