I haven't seen Tristana a lot as well. She's an okay carry, but she's also a very simple "right click to win" champion and is outshined by other carries such as Miss Fortune and Ashe, which I suspect would be the main reasons why Tristana isn't seen very much.
Reasons to choose Tristana:
++Longest consistent auto-attack range when fully leveled, at 703. A lot about the late game, not so much early game.
--Knockback CC ult. I can't think of many great places to use it as a knockback other than to gtfo away from assassins. But you're probably getting shut down anyways if this happens to you a lot. Either Janna or Alistar can fulfill this role though, and Janna is way better at doing it.
--Escape mechanism Rocket Jump. Unless you're up against the likes of crazy gankers, you shouldn't be needing this a lot if you're playing correctly.
-- -50% healing ability. Y'know, in case Mundo or some other heal-crazy bastard shows up in ranked fights... unfortunately the range is pretty darn short. It's easily "replaced" by a 1300 gold item called Executioner's Calling, or even better, Summoner Ignite.
