Thing is, you want Fiora to be more powerful against squishies and against bruisers. Fiora's already strong against squishies, so you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want her to deal more damage against bruisers, then again percentage armor reduction/penetration would work better to counter their armor stacking than flat penetration, which bruisers can nullify by stacking armor and which will make it impossible for any other champion to even approach her.

The issue that you seem to want to address is Fiora's weakness to tanky champions. However, because of this you want to buff her laning phase all around. That's like swatting a fly with a bazooka. It is actually possible to make her better against bruisers and tone down her laning phase at the same time. You don't need to make her more powerful, you just need to give her the proper tools. Fiora isn't actually underpowered right now, she's just really binary due to all her power being moved towards pure damage. You need to reallocate her power by shifting some of the strength she gets from her laning phase to more utility against tanky champions.
