Ugh, day by day I grow tired of PD builds especially x2. Trade both of the for tankiness/flat dps. Besides Q+surge will make you reach the 2.5 AS cap so PD loses it's efficiency. After hundreds of games with her nothing beats berz/tf(you heard me)/ie/bt with the last 2 slots going for atmogs if you need tankiness or madreds and a def item, fon/wits end(not late game viable) if you're having trouble with ap'ers. Phantom is not bad, but if you play with surge (why shouldn't you) you just don't need it. Even as glass cannon tristana, I have no probs against fed ranged carries (cait/mf/graves). Your AS from q+surge with bloodthirster and you're a god. The problem with tristana is getting to the point of carrying because your early game dmg is just awful (all her dmg spells being magic and play Armor Pen rune/masteries AD don't benefit anything at that point) so you need excessive farming.

Sidenote. You want even better farm? Tiamat. Explosive shot + tiamat will make you farm like a boss. Also helps big time in clustered team fights, such an underestimated item. It loses its edge late game, but if you can have it early, I highly recommend it.
