People want to use gunblade on her because it gives lifesteal, AD, Spellvamp, and great active ability for her. Although I dont understand why people want AP scalings on her either. Pure AD scalings plus the uniqueness of her playstyle make her itemisation reasonably different to other champions. You give her AP scaling and, as you say, she become a new akali/poppy.... only worse.
