She is an AD carry. So you want arpen runes, masteries really depend on your play style, but 21/0/9 is standard i would guess, but you could do 9/0/21 or even 0/9/21. I'm pretty sure you have talked about playing ashe, trist would want pretty much the same items as an ashe would. Any of the BF sword items, serker or merc treads for shoes, banshees is a good defensive item. Last whisper is good vs high armor teams. Phantom dancer could work. I think that should give you enough of an idea for items. For skills, i like taking e first, then w. do something like e>w>e>w>q>r. Level up r when possible, max either w or e first, q last. Your w refreshes when you get a kill, half cd for an assist. Remember this and use it accordingly. In general though you want to save w for defensive purposes, your ult as well. Once you get the hang of it, start using w for extra damage to get that kill in lane.
Oh a couple little tips while laning:
- E does splash damage upon killing a unit, so it will help you farm a little but also push your lane. Save your W to avoid ganks.
- Use the splash damage from E to try and damage your lane opponent
- Use the active on your E(healing debuff) when your opponent uses a health pot to reduce the gain from it.
