Overall though, the guide really helped me figure out my item choices and I'd recommend it to anyone starting out with Ahri!
Her cooldowns are high enough to be ineffective for stacking Tear. She can't spam like Orianna, Ziggs, or Karthus. 7, 5, 12, and 80 are her cooldowns at max rank (respectively). It's going to take a long time to fill it up. I doubt you can actually fill it in a normal game.
And yes, Wraith is cheap. You buy it early-game for that purpose. But WOTA is more effective later on, for your team and yourself. It is almost always good for your team. You should swap Wraith for WOTA late-game.
building tear into archangels doubles the rate it stacks. Not to mention you will have plenty of CDR between blue and wraith and lucidityboots. I normally finish stacking it well before 20 minutes. Also maybe you should read the item it has a 2 skill 4 second cooldown. Aka ahri is just as effective as any other champ with tear just because its rare doesnt mean its ineffective as you say.
And i pretty much agreed with you on the wota for the most part.

Tear is awful on her. Her cooldowns are FAR too high to stack it properly.
And I hope you're selling that Wraith for WOTA later on.
After the recent tear changes it has become far more difficult to stack however her cooldowns arent that high, what are you talking about? Not to mention i said to build it into archangels earlier now in order to stack it faster. Also Spirit of the spectral wraith is incredibly cheap and incredibly effective where as wota doesnt give any benefits other then aoe distribution of ap and spell vamp which may not even be good for your team. spirit of the spectral wraith gives cdr mana regen hp regen gives you extra minion damage for a faster push and back line 1 shot and the spell vamp FOR LESS. Maybe in a 6 item game where you could afford it sure thatd be fine you wont be farming or pushing anyways.
And I hope you're selling that Wraith for WOTA later on.
Well honestly most builds are pretty good on Ahri and builds containing Lich Bane are just super op. Also there are a ton of really cool unique things you can do with ahri including incorporating Hextech Gunblade. Theres this really old Ahri build i used to use where youd go 9 hybrid marks start Doran's Blade and build Hextech Gunblade first. Then after wards get Lich Bane. Pretty gimmicky build however you would practically always win the lane. And if you were ahead of your opponent or you needed to gank bot Hextech Gunblade would pretty much get you instakills in conjunction with your ult. It doesnt seem to popular anymore though however i think it could still be decent in certain games and matchups.
Anyways thanks for checking out the guide and being one of like 5 ppl that didnt instantly call it wall of text garbage.
Thank you for taking time to write this detailed answer.
I think Hextech Gunblade becomes more popular since European LCS players like ForellenLord (world's first player in Season 2 who reached 3000 ELO, just btw if you don't know him) used it during the LCS. Because of him I took notice of the item.
Finally, have a nice day again!
