But gotta admit love dps/burst tank a lot and am working towards that.
Cheers!
Your build though is obviously good and a more aggressive version of a more standard support, and maybe that's the better direction if/when you choose Ama supp.
Overall I think this is a solid build sequence, also touching upon a bit of her basic attack capabilities with items that would likely be utilized to her best advantage. Some quick comments:
- All items but
Qin's Sais in your main build are all standard support items and as such are generally acceptable for overall use. Of those items, I think Thebes for overall / universal tankiness is a given, and 
Shogun's Kusari is almost a core item for her, not only to help basic attacking teammates, but her own basics as well.
Breastplate of Valor and upgrades are a bit less core, but still functional. I think you could also consider 
Pridwen if you're looking for high CDR, and its passive allows you to use your ult offensively / aggressively. That said, if you find early that you're having mana issues, I get the use of the added pool and MP5.
Spirit Robe is a good last item for general mitigations and to top off your CDR, but it's also in a spot where you'd put situational items, possibly for counter purposes. While you do have a "situational" group of items, I think this should be expanded for both offensive and defensive situational items. On the defensive side, there should be alternative options listed IMO, such as 
Mail of Renewal, 
Spectral Armor, 
Midgardian Mail, 
Pestilence, and 
Contagion as some examples. 
Manticore's Spikes could also be considered, though she'll only get use of that from 2 of her abilities (her 3 and ult).
Qin's Sais is...maybe okay, but I think it's obvious there's a much better offensive item for her for this function. In a support role, you have very little offense typically, and looking at the rest of your build, you have 0 penetration and your base AS isn't great (though her attack progression fits the use of Qin's). As such, you won't get all that much from the Qin's passive, as physical protection will mitigate its damage, and Qin's is only applying to your own damage.
The Executioner / 
The Heavy Executioner (depending on if you grabbed the BoV glyph) fits the build much better. While the base stats are identical, the passive only needs 2 basics to give very good protection reduction, and that applies not only to your own damage potential, but also to your physical teammates' damage as well. Combine that with the fact that protection reduction will apply to things like the GF and FG, and I think it's a much better choice.
Some adjusted build examples then:Instead, with only 1 other AS item (Shogun's),
- Starter/upgrade -> Thebes -> BoV -> Shogun's -> Toxic -> situational (anti-heal option 1)
- Starter/upgrade -> Thebes -> BoV -> Shogun's -> Exe -> Contagion/Pest (anti-heal option 2)
- Starter/upgrade -> Thebes -> Prid -> Shogun's -> Exe -> situational (alt to BoV, and note you can delay Shogun's and get something else before Shogun's if you want, or get Shogun's before Prid)
Would like to hear your thoughts.Thanks so much for your time and knowledge.
I will try to process the entire post today and make adjustments in my build.
See ya later
