My apologies, but I had to drop a downvote on this one. There are a number of reasons for this:

1) This isn't really a hybrid build so much as it is a complete AP build with some AS, so the title is a bit misleading.

2) The AoE damage on Righteous Fury scales better with AD and Divine Blessing scales horribly with AP, so it's hard to justify building her heavy AP.

3) Reckoning scales well off AP, yet you max it last. Seems counter-productive.

4) With Nashor's and your masteries, you're already sitting at 34% CDR. This makes 9% of the CDR from boots wasted. If one were to do a build like this, the magic pen boots would probably be better suited.

5) I don't think the damage output of this build will be viable given those items, and yet the long CD/poor AP scaling of her heal make her hard to pass as a support. The only way she's viable as support is with more tanky items, which this build has none.

Take some of my criticisms into consideration and consider revising parts of the build and I may switch my vote around.

I'll Spend a bit of this week going more hybrid then so I can make the title less misleading and also since most of the attack speed items I have also have AP so I'll consider going with reckoning a bit earlier this game.

I just tried a different style with getting Reckoning second and it destroyed my chances on surviving I died a lot more so I use divine blessing second so I am able to get away more easily

I like leveling Divine Blessing 2nd as well, however each rank is effectively adding 115 ability power to the heal (given the poor scaling). It's kind of a catch 22 in that the ranks add significant power to the heal, but trying to match those increases with ability power takes is futile.

Yes, but I'm using Divine Blessing to help get into and out of combat not as a heal as much so I can be able to survive more easily and be able to get kills just as easily

I appreciate you taking the time to address my criticsms. The build, while looking eerily similar to a typical Kayle hybrid build, appears MUCH more viable than the full AP version you had originally. Despite Kayle's passive change and the nerf to Hextech, hybrid items like Guinsoo's aren't worthless by any means. Solid build (and you upvoted my AD guide), so I swapped my vote around for ya.

I would still question the boot choice (Sorc's lost some of their appeal transitioning from an AP build to hybrid), maybe taking Berserker's or Merc's. I would also contemplate glyphs. AP again doesn't scale well for Kayle, so taking more +damage, +ArPen, or even +MagPen might suit her better.

Alright I get it I will figure out more ideas to see how I can get that to work more effectively
