I am not going to read through all those wall of texts, but I can say that 2 AP = 1 AD for your money (some Rioter said that, I don't remember who; it was somewhere on the forums), which means your splash (not at your target, but the splash) of your E is equal with AP or AD build. Your Q, this way, gains twice as much more damage from 1000 gold AP than 1000 gold AD, your heal gets stronger from your AP (I know, the best part of the ability is the movement speed. But 3 heals is very nice. This is what you can pull off when an enemy is dead, I think). Next, Nashor's Tooth alone already gives you almost enough cdr for perma-E, while giving both ability power and attack speed (there are a few items with equal attack speed, and only Phantom Dancer gives more), plus it gives some mana regen, which also allowes you to recall less.

Guinshoo's Rageblade is also a nice item on her, I think, because it gives nearly 20 damage on her E splash from just ability power at max stacks, 32% attack speed, and 35 attack damage. And that for just a bit more than 2000 gold. Per gold it's one of the best items in the game if attack damage, ability power and attack speed are all nice on your champion.

Hextech Gunblade - I can't say for sure. Active is nice, I think, but I always forget to use item actives. Life steal + spell vamp in one item is of course also nice if you deal both physical and magic damage, and you also have some attack damage and ability power. I'm not sure.

If you're having a good game, I'd say, buy a Mejai's Soulstealer and Sword of the Occult. Mejai's + Nashor's Tooth is exaclty 40% cdr, where Sword of the Occult gives epic attack damage and a Phantom Dancer (soon more than a Phantom Dancer) movement speed. However. I don't think you'd hit 20 stacks often.

I'd say you'd either go hybrid + AS. on-hit + AS, or AD + AS. But not AP + AS, of course.
