With this build you will still run out of mana fairly consistently as is the way with new freya but it helps your damage become sustained for longer

From your comment and my response in the other thread, I can agree that a larger focus on a more standard "mage" type build, compared to an all-ring ADC build, is likely the best route right now.
It's also nice for 5.14 that she'll see a pretty significant mana drop for Aurora Blade, from 25/33/41/49/57 to 20/25/30/35/40. Being a bit less mana hungry should really help.
That said, I have some thoughts regarding the optimization of this build.
In addition, going double-lifesteal with Bancroft + Poly isn't probably the most popular / optimal combo. You'll typically either want to go Bancroft + Typhon's, or go solo lifesteal w/ Poly combined with Thoth.
All considered, I think it's best to consider grouping items that will synergize as well as possible.
Examples of good combo items (not full builds, just items to pair together):
Anyway, that's my input for now. I think people are able to get away with a variety of builds because overall she's very strong right now...but there are definite synergies to be had.
