The game's best AD item doesn't exist on Dominion. Sanguine Blade is a TERRIBLE substitute for Bloodthirster. It's only good for autoattack champs with good AS. Horrible on Kat. This leaves AD Kat with only inferior itemization options. Meanwhile, AP gets the greatest item in the game: hextech sweeper.

When I play Kat I do neither, however. Hybrid ftw. Prospector's blade first, of course--it's her (everyone's) best item--but then hextech sweeper first after that. It not only has great stats for Kat but also has excellent utility. Getting juked is now impossible, and stealth champs are negated. Then abyssal scepter, rylai's, atma's is a good item combo to follow up. 200 AP, 200 AD, 140/140 resists, 3k health. oh and sorc shoes. 40+ flat mpen. trade prospector's for a gunblade or something on the off chance that the game keeps on going and going. Haunting guise is also a nice item to consider.
