The problem with straight ADC builds on Evelynn using lots of crit and AS (so ones that build PD, IE, etc...) is that to get her maximum potential out in a teamfight, she has to be constantly autoattacking. The dilema that you face with this is that Evelynn has absolute 0 in-fight sustain, unlike the other melee carries that can either heal themself in-fight (Trynd, Yi) or become invincible while dishing out tons of damage (Fiora, Trynd). AD eve could work, but you'd still have to rely on her stealth mechanic by quickly nuking someone in the back line from stealth and getting the hell out just as quickly so you have the smallest chance of getting hard cc'ed or plowed over by bruisers. She'd have to use nuke items like BotRK/Gunblade and high AD items rather than Crit and AS items. I like the idea of building a bit of MPen on her to throw people off when you end up building AD and still deal tons of magic damage with hatespike. Spirit of the Elder Lizard seems to also be an AD item that works really well on her, the extra burn and sustain stats help out your lane harass but still provide enough AD/burn to boost your nuke.
