The item is really good, even on AP Nid. The reason the item is good has already been explained.

HSGG backdoors/solo pushes a LOT with nidalee as well, using the heal to boost his attack speed. Nidalee is one of the champions that has high mobility/escapability with her cougar form and pounce, so she can get to a tower, destroy it fast, and get away before the enemy can kill her. In games where Nidalee doesn't have much leeway to peel off of her team and solo push, Guinsoo's is not necessary.
I have found that if Nid has no static bonus attack speed Guinsoo's is hard to keep up, because her abilities have relatively long CDs (w/ no CDR). I love hybrid Nidalee with guinsoo's, Hextech GB, and other Hybrid-y items. And I like AP Nid with Lichbane, Archangel's, and other high AP items. But I have trouble keeping a guinsoo's up if I'm playing AP Nid unless I get a Nashor's in combo with my heal.

Nidalee starts with meh attack speed and all her ability CDs get longer the more points you put in them so on her Guinsoo's + Lichbane = I almost got enough Guinsoo's stacks to boost my Lichbane sufficiently to be worth the cost. In cat form it's a little better but again you's probably be better off with straight AP and a Lichbane unless you're actually gonna go hybrid. You might well get a Nashor's Tooth instead, it gives better static AP, decent static attack speed %, and mana regen plus CDR. You will be happier with this because you get a nice boost to AS and AP that never turns off.
