ADC: Tell me all the things

ADC tristana main, stalling out real bad in silver V. IDK what it is but i just can't get a decent winrate now and I don't understand why it's so hard to win a game now. Here's a couple replays from recent games I had in ranked, and i'm hoping someone more experienced can tell me what I can do better to carry my team.

http://www.replay.gg/search/na/Bootiegirl#2115436586 This game goes to mid-late game. I actually do great in the early laning phase, I get caught out in some ganks and that throws me off. Once the laning phase ends I just go to farming, creeps, camps, w/e I can so I can try to get more XP and items asap. Once kog maw really starts grouping with his team I start grouping with my team to counter it. I got some decent items and made it far enough to almost complete my bloodthirster (my build was IE>berserker boots>rapid fire cannon>domminick regards>BT; this is the typical build I run pretty much all the time on tristana).

We just couldn't win the team fights, even when i'm trying to avoid getting too close. I could also use a pointer on when I should know i'm strong enough to group with my team because it's not very clear to me. All I know is I at least need my first 3 big items done before I regularly stick with my team. Till then i'm pretty much farming camps, pushing bot as far as I think I can before I could die to a gank.

http://www.replay.gg/search/na/Bootiegirl#2115432511 This is an example of a game snowballing out of control. I fall behind but if i recall correctly I only die once in the laning phase, but my team is falling apart around me. Every lane is getting pushed in, turrets dived and destroyed. I feel like it's pretty much luck whether or not the game can get delayed long enough for me to get to late-game. I can't afford to go mid because i'd be splitting XP with the rest of my team while the enemy team is grouping, and until I get items I feel like a liability. But again, it feels like my team just can't hold, doesn't seem like I can really do anything about a lane getting fed (when it's not my own) and going around roaming to each lane and giving map control to the whole enemy team.

So here's a couple replays, if anyone can look through them and analyze what I could do better it'd be pretty awesome. I don't think I can really figure this out on my own so any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't play ADC, but as a jungler i've noticed a pattern with tristana. Her E always pushes the wave ALWAYS. So if you are winning lane, you push and get ganked by the jungler, and if you are losing lane, you can't freeze the wave in a safe spot and just lose 2v2. I always feel obligated to baby-sit for a tristana knowing this. I personally don't like ADC tristanas on my team but.. thats me.

If you're having trouble in team fights, just stay as far back as possible and run if someone starts running at you.
