My Caitlyn guide :)

The message to vote-system is generally a better choice because people who downvote will have to give an explanation instead of being able to downvote without telling you why. In omagma's case, this isn't exactly constructive criticism, but generally it helps.

Overall your guide looks good, there is no need to be super-unique as long as you make sure you get the basics right and for the most part you've done that.

There are a few things, however, that seem a little off:
- Teleport. It's not a bad spell, but it really is better for someone who lanes top. Not only does Caitlyn need Exhaust, her teams needs her to pick Exhaust as well, it is generally that simple.
Using Teleport to recall and instantly re-appear in lane is not a good way of using this spell. Also, Caitlyn is one of the stronger laners among the AD carries so she shouldn't often get in trouble anyway. Generally, solo tops should be using Teleport to help their teammates by using it on a ward near dragon (in order to pick up dragon, that is) or to get to a teamfight before the enemy top laner does.
If Caitlyn uses it just so she doesn't lose xp for the 10 seconds she'd normally need to walk back to her lane, it really doesn't help her team at all and the gain you get from it is minimal.
If you don't have Exhaust, however, you have a problem. If the enemy AD carry initiaties on you and uses Exhaust, you've lost. There is absolutely no way you'll win a fight if you're exhausted and you can't exhaust your enemy. Sure, you can Teleport back after you died (^^), but it's not good.
In teamfights, if the enemy has a Xin Zhao that is capable of raping someone squishy like Annie within seconds (before she can use her burst), you need Exhaust to give her enough time to use Summon: Tibbers and basically kill everyone.

- Boots of Swiftness. Personal preference only goes so far. The fact that Caitlyn has a low base movement speed does absolutely not mean you should take subpar boots on her. Because you can (and should) buy items that will increase your critical strike chance, just get a Phantom Dancer to increase your movement speed and leave it at that. Combined with her 90 Caliber Net this will give her more than enough mobility, getting Boots of Swiftness might feel good but it isn't.

- Madred's Bloodrazor is a situational item that is general better on AD carries like Kog'Maw and Vayne anyway. Replace it by a Banshee's Veil which is a pretty standard item for AD carries (at least it should be).

- Your skill sequence isn't optimal. Getting your Yordle Snap Trap at level 4 is simply too late. By using traps you can 'ward' your lane immediately to prevent ganks or possibly simply snare enemies in order to hit them with your Piltover Peacemaker. You can also use them to protect your jungler at level 1, so I normally get them first, you don't need Piltover Peacemaker on level 1.

- If you want to harass agressively, you need some mana regen. I would suggest using Greater Seal of Replenishment.

I'll check the guide again in a couple of days to check whether you've changed anything and vote.
