Just buff her E, and the base stacking value on W, then she should be great.

As I mentioned, her problem is that all she does is scale. Junglers need to have some solid base values to jungle effectively, or the jungle/enemy jungler beats them into the floor. It also helps you gank.

Q- Benefits from CDR, AD, and AP, and syncs with Sheen items.

W- Benefits from CDR, base movespeed, and being able to hit people.

E- Benefits from CDR, AD, AP, On-hit items, and Attack Speed.

R- Benefits from CDR, AP, and Resists.

Evelynn almost always gets an item that procs slows, which improves her Q W and E. Building items that have AD improves Q and E, building movespeed items like boots improves W, and building AP makes Q E and R better. Since R gives you a shield, resists naturally make that shield much better.

Let's take another jungler and use him as an example, ah, Lee Sin's an assassin. Let's use him:

Passive- AD, Attack Speed, On-hit

Q- Benefits from AD.

W- Benefits from AP, AD, and Attack Speed.

E- Benefits from AD.

R- Benefits from AD.

CDR doesn't help Lee Sin much because he's energy based, and needs to autoattack after casting spells or he loses the energy to cast them. Since Passive is % based, it will become stronger as the game goes on. See how little he relies on items for purposes?

His E provides a slow so he doesn't need to rush Frozen Mallet. W provides a shield and sustain, which is why I noted that autoattacks help with the ability. Q benefits only from bonus AD, and is a good damage move, with a built-in gap closer and small execution. R benefits solely from AD as well, and is a hard CC, albeit hard to use.

Evelynn, on the other hand, has a MS steroid insted of a shield that can be used for positioning and sustain, as well as some degree of tankiness. She has no slow to stick to people outside of her ultimate, and at rank 1 that slow is worse than rank 1 Cripple from Lee Sin. Her Burst comes from a point blank spell that does little damage to people unless you buy tons of AD/AP, and even then it's scaling can't really be compared to that of Lee Sin's 1.8 per Bonus AD Sonic Wave/Resonating Strike. Her Q serves basically the same purpose as Lee Sin's Passive, which is to complement her moveset by allowing her W to keep its stacks, and in this I give Evelynn some credit, because it does make her somewhat difficult to run away from late game. Comparing their ults isn't a thing someone in the right mind should do though, they're just too different.

So, to be even with Lee, Evelynn has to buy Hextech Gunblade and Trinity Force. Otherwise, she won't have sustain, or sticking power, or enough damage.
