Since in most cases Akali can't do anything in a teamfight if the enemy team has a lot of CC and focuses her (AKA the team knows that they're doing) I figured out a tanky build, that can still dish out some dmg.

Hextech Gunblade - since she will be an assassin/fighter hybrid, more sustain is awesome, not to mention the cool active.

Zhonya - armor, AP and the best active ever.

Rylai - AP, HP, slow

Abyssal - AP, MR

Maw of malmortius - AD (she's a hybrid, remember?) MR and an underrated passive, saved my life plenty of times.

GA - tankiness and an awesome passive

If there's more AD on the enemy team you can always change the Abyssal with a Randuin or Thornmail.

scaling HP seals, scaling AD marks, scaling AP glyphs, movespeed quints and 3 points in masteries, so there's no need for boots. Also 24 points in defence tree for more tankiness and tenacity, a point in Double-edged sword, Insight and Phasewalker.

So stats in a teamfight : 15% Tenacity, ~2700 HP, ~215 armor, ~200 magic res, 383 AP with -20 magic res from Abyssal, 238 AD and a lot of sustain (12% lifesteal and 40+ spell vamp)

If you're squishier you won't have time to kill anybody, unless you arrive real late at the teamfight party (most probably too late), and if you're tankier you won't do enough dmg.
