Let me preface this post by saying that I only play on the proving grounds.

I've actually taken a liking to a tankier, more sustained damage Annie by rushing CDR and survivability. With 40% CDR there is a 1 second downtime on Molten Shield which, when combined with a big ticket health item like Rylai's or Warmogs, gives Annie the survivability to stay in range to constantly be pumping out stuns and damage.

40% CDR brings her Q down to a 2.4 second CD and her W a 4.8 second CD. This means that Annie can reliably get her stun up every 6 seconds if she has targets for her Q (1 W+E, 2 Qs). A 1.75 potentially AoE stun on a 6~ second CD sounds pretty good to me.
