It's not about whether the build is better or not.

I simply do not have the skill to pull off the AD Kat by building my gear up until 40 minutes to start owning.

Exactly what I feel too. If Kat can't help initiate (yes, initiate) fights with a good shunpo nuke to mark a target to be killed in a midgame gank, in late game her ulti has exactly no use. Bypassing the midgame just to farm for late game AD ownage seems to be not utilizing her to the fullest. At least not until late game teamfights (not ganks). Looking at her stat growth, other than her BB her other skills scales badly with AD.

Killer Instinct helps on last hit as well. So she isn't that bad.

I want people to fear Kat. If people hit on me and sees that I'm a squishy in midgame team fights and I'm unable to pull off a good ulti, then essentially I'm dead weight for 40 minutes in the game.

Should've phrased it properly. My idea of Kat is that she's somewhat like a hunter, similar to akali, finish enemies off quick and efficiently. I think she is fully capable of initiating and holding ganks especially when your opponent thinks he can out damage you (Provided there's no stun involved). Because the constant damage your opponent will be giving you will help hold his attention until the point where it's too late for him to back off (thus ending a kill, hopefully), of course it's really hard to judge whether you might get the kill or not, but that should come with experience.

In team fights (5v5?) situations, I believe she has the capability of outreaching all other champs with shunpo (Again, similar to akali), to finish off the squishies and low hp targets while the team drives everyone else back.

This is a very risky move as it will be heavily dependent on the team itself, but I find myself willing to take the risk as teamplay is rewarded generously in LoL.
