UPDATE 08/08/18: Now I had unnecessary amounts of penetration and attack speed but was dying too often to make use of it. I replaced 
The Executioner with Spirit Robe and swapped its location with that of Stone Cutting Sword.
UPDATE 08/07/18: So it turns out 
Runeforged Hammer wasn't a good idea. I replaced it with 
Winged Blade in my working build but after some suggestions on this very post, I've replaced it and 
Frostbound Hammer with Stone Cutting Sword and The Executioner.
I have Amaterasu at diamond currently and do very well with this build. That wasn't always the case as she was my first warrior and I didn't know how to properly build for her. If your playstyle is anything like mine (sorta assassin-like) then this build will do you some real wonders.

I would build her like this:
Yours isn't a bad idea, though, so if you haven't already, you should post it here. It's bound to click with some people.
That said, I don't feel your build is optimal for this tanky AA build. In going with your concept rather than Kriega's standard ability tank build, here are my thoughts:
- Choose
Hastened Katana OR 
Frostbound Hammer...not both. The "Frostalis" type of combo has always been ridiculed in general, because one or the other should typically be enough to help you stick to your target. Getting both means you take up 1/3 of your build just with the idea of staying close to your target. That hurts the rest of your build. Yes, Frostbound does give you some health, which is nice, but in the concept of this build, I'd choose Katana, to help you get more out of Qin's passive.
Runeforged Hammer isn't the greatest item right now...typically underpowered. Yes, it has some synergy with 
Illuminating Strike, and will be applied with 
Frostbound Hammer, but if you DO get rid of Frostbound per my argument above, then Runeforged becomes a very poor choice since she has very little CC otherwise. I guess it's a toss-up...I maintain that Katana + Frost isn't a great combo, but you could get rid of Katana and do the double-hammer thing, if you'd like.
- The big thing you're lacking, if you're looking to deal better damage, is penetration.
The Executioner goes hand-in-hand with 
Qin's Sais, and it's something you really need. Since I'm suggesting dropping at least 1 or 2 items from your current build, we can fit it in.
With the above considered, here are a couple of different build suggestions.
