"WotA is also not that great of an item unless at least another champion can benefit from it (and not in the "oh it's nice to have but not really awesome" kind of benefit)."

WotA was changed a long time ago and changed another time a few patches ago. It's a selfish item now gives 80 AP, 10% CDR and 20% spellvamp for 2500G.

WotA + Rylai's VS Gunblade...

As Newstandard has pointed out Gunblade alone costs a shitload of 3400g but gives you everything akali needs. It gives you crazy amounts of regen, increases your AD so both parts of her passive are used bether than with only AP (AP increases your AA dmg but as % of your AD) and lasthitting becomes a petty. It gives you another Spell with AP scaling (something Akalis kit lacks) that also slows your target. So after the lichbane nerfs this item shines even brighter on Akali.

WotA together with Rylai's costs 5400g. You get 95 more AP,  500 more Health and 10% more CDR with those 2 items compaired to only Gunblade. But you have to spend 2000g more. You can counterbuild the enemy team (Full AD/AP Team), can buy a real damage item like Deathcap and don't sit on a WotA + Blasting Wand.
