Yeah brutalizer would work, but then what do you build it into? you're just going to sell it later. And the lifesteal on her just don't go far enough without her AA. She falls off late because she relies too heavily on abilities, there just aren't enough mechnics that help you into late game.

Other bruisers profit from health, lifesteal, AD, crit, AS, regen, armour, MR, MS and APen. Riven, well Lifesteal isn't going to help much, AS is useless, you don't often build for MS and crit is silly. So there are 4 things that others are using which you aren't. Something that I would consider trying on her though (which is silly and you'd need to play smart) is consider an early sheen on her, and play with the procs between Q's. Your burst will be stupid high, and you can turn it into a trinity later on which just gives you everything. I'll test it out sometime.
