DFG works completely well on her. All the stats work for her, the active helps start fights and etc. She is not a burst mage but her sustained damage can be unexpectedly high throughout the game. However always start with resist AP items because she needs to survive to do damage.

DFG is usually my 5th item in the game if it stretches out long enough. I usually start with an early Kage's Lucky Pick for the GP10. Then I get 2 out of Zhonya's Hourglass / Abyssal Scepter / Rod of Ages depending on enemy team composition and how well I farm, finishing Sorcerer's Boots somewhere in the middle.

Then I get Deathcap, only after that do I get DFG. Sometimes I end up with Nashor's Tooth as final item, but usually Lich Bane.

Sometimes the enemy team composition doesn't have a high-hp tanky dps or build pure resist. I tend to postpone DFG for other items when that happens.

I do 21/0/9 masteries, run full Mpen marks, armor seals and flat AP glyphs and quints. Consider swapping armor seals for other mage-y seals like mana regen or CDR.
