21 9 0 would be better, for laning just buy a Hextech Revolver for the bit of spellvamp and hold on to it as long as you can then sell it back at the end of the game.

the reason the higher damage would benefit more is because she is supposed to get in and get out really fast. So if you have high damage you go massive combo everyone, then you pick up a kill really fast and get back out. Unless of course picking up just one kill isn't your thing and you've just gotta stay in to ace the team :D

Defense masteries would be no good since for the most part she isn't supposed to take damage. Yes as soon as you shunpo in your immediately focused. That's why you have to be the smart one and know when to get in and out. Plus shunpo reduces incoming damage by 15% for 1.5 seconds, which is long enough to pick up a triple in a teamfight if you can react fast enough.

And yeah if your saying in laning, just get a Hextech Revolver (NOT GUNBLADE) as previously mentioned. I usually rush it right after Kages Lucky Pick. Both of them I hold as long as possible then sell at the very end. Then get Rylais so by the time laning phase is almost done you have a pretty darn decent amount of HP to survive a teamfight.

'''So yeah, defense is pointlesss on her. The higher her damage, the faster she kills, the faster she gets reset cooldowns, the faster she gets out and to safety.'''
