Your build is just fine. The health it that Rod of Ages gives is enough to get you through most teamfights, correct? If so, then you're building her right. Because most people don't build Magic resist, there's no point in building Magic Penetration if you don't need it. Ths Magic Resist that champions get right off the bat isn't that high. You can save that item slot for something like Deathfire Grasp. You shouldn't  need a Zhonya's Hourglass because you effectively have one in you're kit (Rappel, it let's you dodge so much! I've survived a Karthus ult because of it when I had about 100-150 HP left). The only downside to it is, until maxed, it's got a crappy cooldown. But that's ok. You shouldn't need it that much. You use Deathfire Gasp's active effect, right? (I know I forget sometimes, so occasionally kills will get away because of my terrible memory lol) To be able to deal damage, you need a huge amount of AP on her. In PvP's, I don't usually get past two or three items and boots. So I usually end up with boots, Rod of Ages and Liandry's Torment, and if I can get it, Rabadon's Deathcap. I usually have at least one piece of the Deathcap before the game ends. So that means you need to utilize what little you can get and still be cost effective. That's why I suggest getting those items in the order you have it on your post.
