She has pretty good trades, actually. Max Q, if you can land your Q's then you just swing once and E, then back out. Your shield helps to keep you healthy, and unless you dove on Ryze, Swain, etc. you should come out far ahead. Do this once, and they HAVE to play back since if you land another Q, they'll likely die to an all in.

She plays rather like Riven, you use everything but your ult, then you E away. She scales similarly, but better. You only need one or two damage items to rival someone stacking BT's like Riven, or rushing Triforce like Irelia. Usually I go brutalizer phage, turn that into cleaver, mallet, vamp sceptre, then go GA. Like it has been stated above, she really doesn't need much damage at all, almost like Hecarim in that sense. The longer you're in the fight, the better it is.

You can also just shove the wave and go do dbg/wolves/wraiths/red/whatever, to put you further ahead.
