Used to run a build similar to yours, only replacing Frozen Heart with Randuin's (and get an early Heart of Gold) when facing balanced teams. Worked well for me if my team was strong enough to reach lategame.

However, I prefer an a bit more aggressive playstyle with her lately. Philo/HoG/Mercs, then Wriggle's/Wit's, then Phage/Sheen/Triforce, then (if the game isn't over yet) the big tanky items (Randuin, FoN). Wriggles works well together with your W passive, and Wit's AS is good with your W active. Moreover, you're dealing all three types of damage on a single auto-attack if W is active :)

Concerning last-hitting with Q: I don't do it when not necessary. Rather, use your W active to last-hit => less mana cost.
