Purification Beads can be replaced for 
Aegis Amulet
Death's Toll can be replaced for 
Vampiric Shroud or 
Leather Cowl. Upgrade for 
Blood-Soaked Shroud or 
Hunter's Cowl I personally have not tried these, this is very experimental.

Poisoned Star if you find that your enemies keep getting away. Poisoned Star is also good with Charybdis' ult, 
The Maw Hungers
Shadowsteel Shurikenor 
Toxic Blade for antiheal if it's something you're struggling with.
Odysseus' Bow can be option for an extra punch. Odysseus' Bow could be replaced for Qin's Sais
Replace wind demon with Poisoned Star if you find that your enemies keep getting away. Poisoned Star is also good with Charybdis' ult, The Maw Hungers
Alternately, replace wind demon with Shadowsteel Shurikenor Toxic Blade for antiheal if it's something you're struggling with.
While I believe the attack speed from my build is reasonable, I also think that Odysseus' Bow can be option for an extra punch. Odysseus' Bow could be replaced for Qin's Sais

Aegis Amulet or Purification Beads based on your enemy lineup. Then, if you're not getting crushed (which you shouldn't), i'd pick up 
Blink Rune for intense team fights.
By playing this build and reaching GM3 in one day, I can safely say that your first relic should be Aegis Amulet or Purification Beads based on your enemy lineup. Then, if you're not getting crushed (which you shouldn't), i'd pick up Blink Rune for intense team fights.

Spike Shot early game as it is an amazing wave clear- this also helps boost your Devourer's Gauntlet. The Maw Hungers any chance you get, aka: lvl 5, 9, 13, 17, 20.
Capsize is the skill you should focus mid-game as it's your second good output of damage.
Whirlpool Form should be done last as it's usually just a reasonable escape. You can level this sooner if you find yourself struggling to survive or make good escapes.

Hello, everyone! Nice to meet you, I am sourgood4u, you can call me sour :). I have actually done one other build Hera: Queen of Joust (and Gods)). To be honest, I am a hardcore Conquest player and as I said in my prior guide, I easily consider myself a casual player who constantly gets bullied for the smallest things.
This guide is based off my first-day matchups as ADC Charybdis. Enjoy! (and please be kind).
Charybdis' survivability is extremely low. Her max health without items is extremely low. This being said, I wanted to stop focusing so much on her attack speed like everyone is currently doing- and see how she fares with a healthy chunk of lifesteal, crit, AND attack speed. A perfect package, right? You can destroy an enemy Charybdis if they're running the basic attack speed build everyone is running right now. To me, this build IS the meta (for now).

I appreciate your efforts on this writeup. That said, I have a lot of feedback for you.
- You're building 3x lifesteal type items (Embrace isn't technically lifesteal, it's health restore, but it is still affected by anti-heal). Your reliance on lifesteal can be severely harmed by anti-heal items, which is why I wouldn't suggest it. You might get away with this in lower levels where people might not be aware enough to notice how easily it would be to counter this, but otherwise it's not something I'd suggest. At max, I would say you would be okay with DT/DE + EITHER Devo's or Asi, but not both.
- Another reason not to get both is to free up a space for another item. You're 100% lacking in one key stat; penetration. While you get a bit of it in Wind Demon (only when you crit), you'll notice all strong builds include more pen than you have. The bow builds usually have both
Silverbranch Bow and 
Atalanta's Bow or 
The Executioner, while crit builds will often use both 
The Executioner and Wind Demon.
- When you're focusing on crits, I'd suggest less focus on
Qin's Sais until your build is solid with the other things. Besides the lack of pen, your crit chance is a bit on the low side. Typically, it's good to try to get your chance up higher (50+%), as it becomes more reliable. There are a couple ways you could consider this functionally. 1: Get 3 crit items, with Wind Demon and 
Deathbringer being core. Add either 
Poisoned Star or 
Shadowsteel Shuriken to these. 2: change DT / DE to 
Ornate Arrow. Yes, that goes against your high sustain motif, but it's gotta give somewhere.
- If you're committing to
Qin's Sais and 
Death's Embrace, then while your current AS is good, it's still not optimal. Looks like at level 20 at max tide, your AS is 2.24 in your build. When I commit to these, I want it as close to the max 2.5 AS cap as possible, to eke out as much as I can from those items.
- In your situational items notes, you give an option to replace WD with PS or SS. Per above, WD is your ONLY source of pen. That is, no offense, not a good suggestion at all.
- O-Bow is a functional item for her, but doesn't mix well with crits. Crits multiply off your base damage, and 0 power doesn't increase your base damage. Also, Qin's is a very strong item in a high AS build, and will be your best source of DPS against a single target, especially tanks. If anything, you'd be better combining O-Bow AND Qin's, along with other items that are core (again, penetration!!!).
Blink Rune just shouldn't be one of the relics you choose. It's been very situationally used on specific gods / roles, rarely for hunters.
There's a reason other builds are used often. They cover all the general bases of stats that are important. While I get your concept, it's just missing too many things for me to suggest. In the game you had success w/ your build concept, it very likely didn't have to do so much with build, and likely more the lack of skill of your enemy. 2 games with this build isn't proof of concept, especially when you only had success once (8/2 first game, 3/10 the other). And while you read guides that were posted and tried them, it looks like you may have only tried another build once. One game is usually not indicative of the effectiveness of a build, though when you have enough knowledge of builds, you can usually look at them and tell if it is good/functional or not.I suggest giving the standard builds a much longer try. Go high base AS with Qin's, or try a crit build with over 50% crit chance. Make sure you have adequate penetration / protection reduction. Over the long run, you'll likely have more success with these. If you're finding you're not surviving long enough without 3 lifesteal type items, then I think it's possible your awareness / vision is lacking, or you're just being outboxed in general.
